I'd really recommend that you leave a whole day to visit the village as we were a little rushed trying to see everything in just under five hours and we weren't able to hike the trails as we just ran out of time. Be sure to get a mike for the self guided tour at the reception desk. A number of the original buildings have been restored so that visitors can see what life must have been like and how the Shakers lived. The round barn itself was beautiful and shouldn't be missed. There are demonstrations and talks throughout the village and there's a cafe and an ice cream shop on site. We had a great day and would recommend a stop here for anyone in the Berkshires!
