Oneida

from free love Utopia to the well-set table

Explores the history of the Oneida community, as told by a descendant of one of the Community's original families, discussing it's founding in the early 19th century by religious leader John Humphrey Noyes and his followers who built a free love community in rural New York, their eventual rejection of Noyes' sexual theories and belief in eugenics after his death, and their business success as a leading manufacturer of flatware in the 20th century.
