Hat and pegs

Harrodsburg, Ky.

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. Additional photos of items hanging in Shaker Village are below. More images from
Shaker Village are in my Shaker Village gallery.
