ON THE COVER

Friday, July 22“South Union Shaker Furniture: A Southerner’s Interpretation of Shaker Simplicity”Presented by Tommy Hines, executive director of the Shaker Museum of South Union12:00 p.m.AuditoriumFree; first come, first served

The people who lived in Shaker villages vowed to live their lives guided by strict tenets of celibacy and communal ownership of property. The Shakers also espoused order, function, and simplicity in mindset and practice, particularly when it came to creating the material culture that surrounded them. Because each village typically attracted converts from the general area in which it was located, regional variations in architecture, costume, food, music, and furniture developed. This presentation will specifically explore the furniture created at the Shakers’ southernmost outpost, South Union, Kentucky. Because the converts to the village were primarily from Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, South Union’s culture was decidedly “southern”; this is especially evident in the furniture made there between 1820 and 1880.
