A hand-made clothes hanger hangs on a peg on the wall of a room in 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.
