Massachusetts #3

Written on June 20, 2008 by KIOSK

We vis­ited Han­cock Shaker Vil­lage as a con­trast dose to The Mount. The barn is con­sid­ered to be one of the most impres­sive struc­tures in Amer­ica, so I knew I needed to see it. And it is an incred­i­ble con­struc­tion, a real Tatlin Tower on the inside. But I was really impressed and sur­prised to find out about the amount of color the Shak­ers used in their bed­rooms, I had imag­ined a life far more aus­tere. If you are inter­ested in Shaker life, this is the place to go. I really enjoyed it but Marco found he was depressed as he felt life among the Shak­ers was a fairly repressed and struc­tured world. Dunno, was it? Human’s are human’s after all! We do what we do! Some­thing to con­tem­plate. I was very happy we visited.
