Genealogy of the Oneida Community

A 19th Century Perfectionist Commune

The Oneida Community was founded in 1848 by John Humphrey Noyes as a utopian religious society. Initially, the commune included the Noyes family and close friends in the Putney, Vermont, area. The community eventually settled in Oneida, New York, where it grew and prospered until they disbanded in 1879. The home of the Oneida Community, the Mansion House, still stands today, as a testament to their beliefs and determination.
