Lunchtime Lecture Series: The Handcrafted Utopia

Throughout the early and middle 19th century, Central New York was often referred to as “the Burned Over District,” a testament to enflamed passions and idealism that led to abolitionism, the Women’s Rights Movement, and other forms of radicalism including experimental utopian societies. Tom Guiler, Director at the Oneida Community Mansion House, will explore this evolution and discuss his recent book, The Handcrafted Utopia.

This event will take place at the SHM Event Center and is FREE and open to the public.
