Shaker Tavern, a hotel built in 1869 by the Shakers for the "world's people."

Beautiful historic bed & breakfast located just west of Bowling Green, Kentucky, fifteen miles from I-65. Built in 1869 near the newly constructed L & N railroad, the Tavern was part of the commercial district of the South Union Shaker Village. For more than 40 years, the Shaker Tavern maintained a thriving business, catering to the Victorian railroad travelers who stopped at South Union. When the village closed in 1922 the Tavern became a private residence and was re-opened as a bed and breakfast in 1992.

The Shaker Tavern is operated by the Shaker Museum, historic site of the South Union Shaker Village (1807-1922). The Shaker Museum, located in the 40-room 1824 Centre House, houses the nations largest collection of western Shaker furniture. South Union was one of 24 villages established by the Shakers. During the village’s 100 year history, the Shakers acquired and worked 6,000 acres of farmland, constructed over 200 buildings, and maintained industries that developed for them a national reputation.
