Hancock MA Community Profile & History
Hancock, Massachusetts is a small town in the scenic Berkshire region of western Massachusetts. First settled in 1762, the town was officially incorporated in 1776 and named for Founding Father John Hancock. Just west of Pittsfield, Hancock offers beautful natural scenery and excellent views of the nearby Taconic Mountains.
Primarily rural and residential in nature today, Hancock is perhaps best known as the home of Hancock Shaker Village. A religious order which practiced pacifism, celibacy, and communal living, the Shakers founded the colony on land donated by converted farmers in 1790. After reaching peak membership in the 1840s, the Shaker movement gradually dwindled, partially due to the population shift to urban areas that followed the Industrial Revolution. By the early twentieth century, the population of the village had fallen to around 50, most of which were children. In 1960, the Hancock community was closed by the Shaker Central Ministry, and both its buildings and land was sold to the public. Purchasers formed the not-for-profit Hancock Shaker Village, Inc. to preserve the historic site. The museum opened on July 1, 1961, and was added to the National Historic Register in 1968. Noted for its uniquely designed Round Stone Barn, Hancock Shaker Village remains a popular tourist attraction among many in the region.
