A NOTE ABOUT ACCESS: Hancock Shaker Village strives to make the Village as accessible as possible while maintaining the site’s historic integrity. Some historic buildings and the Visitors Center (which includes restrooms, galleries, the Village Store and Village Harvest Cafe, as well as meeting space) are wheelchair accessible. Most of the historic buildings, however, do not have ramps. Compacted dirt pathways and wooden boardwalks throughout the Village provide access to the gardens. Wheelchairs are available, advance reservation is advised. An orientation video is captioned in English for the hearing impaired, and an English script is available for all videos shown in the Village.
A NOTE ABOUT PETS: No pets are allowed at Hancock Shaker Village under any circumstances except for service dogs. We are a working farm, and to protect our livestock and poultry, no pets are allowed on the grounds. Keeping any pet in a vehicle is also potentially harmful and can be fatal, even with windows cracked. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, and appreciate your cooperation.
