Day Trips With Matt: Hancock Shaker Village

Matt Noyes hit up the Berkshires for more on the iconic locations

NECN Meteorologist Matt Noyes hit up the Berkshires Monday morning for more on the iconic locations you can visit, some cool history and more on a great way to spend a day.

He was joined by Shawn Hartley Hancock, director of marketing and communications at Hancock Shaker Village.

Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, is 750 acres of pure history.

It’s a preserved shaker village. Shakers lived in the region from the late 1700s, when they came to America from England.

At the height of the community, there were about 300-400 Shakers.
