Un-Pleasant Hill

• Un-Pleasant Hill: Richard McNemar vs. John Whitbey at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill (3501 Lexington Road). Christian Goodwillie, author of “Richard McNemar: Frontier Heretic and Shaker Apostle,” will discuss McNemar’s role in managing the turmoil caused by the influence of Robert Owen’s New Harmony, Indiana, community on Pleasant Hill in the late 1820s. The influence of John Whitbey, who eventually apostatized, was central to the tumult. Carol Medlicott will join Goodwillie at the end for a brief program of songs.
