Holy Hill: The Lord’s Stone
If you hike to the “top” of Holy Hill, you will find a carved granite slot that clearly used to hold an upright stone marker in it.
It’s still there today, even after all these years. It last served its purpose in 1853.

Holy Hill construction journals
Harvard’s Holy Hill was cleared and built by the Shakers over the course of 1842 and 1843. Preserved journals capture some of the steps they took for the construction.

Holy Hill
Every day, I start out the day hiking the trails near my house. I started the habit at the beginning of COVID - a way to continue to get exercise and to both ground and refresh myself in nature. I rarely skip that walk – usually just when I’m sick.
The primary trail I typically walk on is called “Holy Hill” - a key location on the path being an old Shaker outdoor worship area in the 1840’s.
It is fitting, then, that my first entry in my “Where I live” series is about the Holy Hill trail.
