About Oneida Community Mansion House

From 1848 to 1880 the Oneida Community, a religious utopian group led by John Humphrey Noyes, lived here as one family, sharing property and practicing complex marriage. Their 93,000-square-foot brick Mansion House, begun in 1862, is a National Historic Landmark on 33 acres. You can wander the rooms and museum exhibits on your own or join a 90-minute guided tour on Wednesdays at 10 am and Saturdays at 10 am and 2 pm. Adult admission is $15, and part of the house is an inn.
