South Union, Ky – The Shaker Village at South Union, Ky is renowned for its beautiful landscapes and architecture. But one important landmark has gone largely unknown by the general public. A cemetery holding the bodies of more than 400 Shakers sits in a field near South Union, without any visible markers to honor the dead. But that's about to change, as Kevin Willis reports.
