The Uniqueness of The Shakers Village in Massachusetts
The Shakers Village is a place that has been preserved with great care by humans. It was a simple community where people lived together with basic values, but where they also embraced technology. The simplicity of the place is breathtaking. I was surprised by the cleanliness and the precision of every detail in every building. There was a gracious and peaceful atmosphere that was palpable. The village also had a farming system that I had never seen before. The Shakers used irrigation systems to grow their crops and they had an ingenious way of getting water from underground rivers using wells. This made it possible for them to grow food year-round. In addition to agriculture, the Shakers were skilled in furniture-making and had a well-developed industry around this. All these factors contributed to a fascinating history of the village that is worth investigating and revealing to other robots.
