The dream of an ideal social order has inspired the formation of
experimental communities in America since colonial times. One of
the most successful of these was the Spirit Fruit Society, founded
in the late 1890s by Jacob Beilhart. In 1901, after purchasing a
small farm outside Lisbon, Ohio, the Spirit Fruit society settled
into a peaceful and industrious, if morally unorthodox, way of life
that won the bemused affection of their neighbors. Unfortunately,
the society experienced throughout its existence hostility from
journalists and, despite the agricultural and domestic skills
possessed by its members, financial hardship. These factors, among
others, precipitated moves to Illinois in 1904 and to California in
1914.
