Yesterday my American friends and I went to Shaker town. Visiting there was always one of my bucket lists!
It took two hours by car from my friend's mom's house. My friend's mom had been used to making Rag dolls to sell in the town for a long time. Her dolls were one of the popular souvenirs and she sometimes was picked up in a local newspaper.
The town was very pretty, but I learned there aren't any Shaker people there any more in the town. People there pretended and performed Shaker people and entertain us. However, there are still some really neat furniture and there are some buildings that Shaker people had used. I ate Shaker food at a restaurant. I especially enjoyed a piece of shaker lemon pie. My friend's older sister gave me the recipe of the lemon pie, so I can bake it in Japan!
I think their idea that women and men have to live separate even they are family is very strange. I think children should be raised by their parents and live together. On the other hand, I was very inspired by their tools, furniture, blooms and so on. All of them were so crafted and very lovely. They seemed to be art for me.

Yesterday, my American friends and I went to a Shaker town.
Visiting there was always on my bucket lists!
My friend's mom had been used to making rag-dolls to sell in the town for a long time.
mom had been used = they used her (took advantage of her) to make dolls for them
mom was used to = it was familiar for her, a regular thing she did
Her dolls were one of the popular souvenirs and she sometimes was picked up in written about in a local newspaper.
The town was very pretty, but I learned there aren't any Shaker people there anymore in the town.
Don't have to repeat "in the town," since you said "The town" first.
People there pretended and performed to be Shaker people and entertained us.
I think their idea that women and men have to live separately--even though/if they are family--is very strange.
I don't know if you know, but -- is like , but more dramatic. Like cutting yourself off to say a detail, then continuing.
On the other hand, I was very inspired by their tools, furniture, blooms and so on.
I don't know what "blooms" are. Flowers or bloomers? o//o
All of them were so well-crafted and very lovely.
They seemed to be art for to me.
"It looked like ___ to me." Is a saying in English.
"to be art for me" sounds like someone made the art for you. XD;
