A hat hangs on a peg on the wall of the entry hallway for the Centre Family Dwelling
in Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Ky., near Harrodsburg. Rooms in Shaker buildings
all had walls lined with pegs in wooden rails. The pegs were used for hanging chairs
and other items, maintaining the austerity and simplicity that characterized Shaker
interior spaces. The Centre Family Dwelling was built in the early 1800s. Many
structures in the village, a National Historic Landmark, have been restored
and are used as an inn for lodging.
