oneida community mansion house印象

John Humphrey Noyes was the founder of one of the most successful Utopian settlements. Women and men were educated and worked side by side. While their selective breeding experiments scandalized the surrounding communities, their business success and forward thinking in terms of gender equality can not be faulted. The tour can be fantastic -- some of it varies according to the guide that you have to be honest. But the house itself is filled with artifacts and displays that will transport you back to another era. Definitely not to be missed if you have any interest in American history. Not for young children...

A visit and stay in this historic community is definitely worth it. This is the site of one of the great, and most succesful, social experiments in the US. Guest rooms are large and comfortable.

Very interesting place to visit...learned alot about a community I had never heard of. Would have liked a guided tour but they are not available on Mondays and Tuesdays.

This place is a must-visit for those who love history - either for a tour, an overnight, or both. We had a wedding in the area and decided to stay at the Mansion House instead of a chain hotel and are glad we did. Members of the Oneida Community built the house by hand and lived and worked there as one large family there, minus the confines of traditional marriage. The room was spacious, with 15-foot ceilings, and the bathroom was huge. The place is very peaceful - we had no awareness of other guests, even though cars were in the lot, and enjoyed speaking with one of the building's apartment residents and strolling the grounds and gardens in the morning. A basket of breakfast goodies (muffins, cereal bars, fruit, nuts, oatmeal) and in-room coffee is included. Best of all was the tour - our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and patient with our many questions. This is a fascinating chapter of history, local and national. We highly recommend you spend some time here.

If you are a history buff especially the Oneida Community history this is a must see. For most of us it is a great walk through a very "unspoken" CNY chapter. Little did you know about the wildness that existed and the free spirits that lived in Kenmore.

This is a glorious place! Let me confess my bias: I think John Humphrey Noyes is one of the real heroes of 19th C. American history. Sort of a Victorian hippie-- definitely Victorian, but with an amazing attitude towards gender equity. We arrived too late in the day for one of the organized tours-- and these are not available every day, so plan ahead-- but for a nominal fee were able to wander around the accessible rooms. The mansion and its grounds are well-maintained, and the people doing the work deserve praise and support. Back in the 19th C., as the original community faded, it became the Oneida Silverware company, and we were saddened to learn that this recently closed its doors, at least in Oneida. But the mansion is definitely worth a visit, if you are anywhere in this area and care to see the legacy of this great man and his community.

We've been talking about visiting here for years--finally made it yesterday. This was well worth the $5 admission. It was certainly an interesting community--and what they accomplished even after disbanding! Some really lovely rooms and intriguing history and the special braiding exhibit was amazing!

The Mansion House is a fascinating historical site. The rooms are actually quite nice and up to date, but the reason to stay there is the opportunity that provides you to explore and learn about the Oneida Community. No place like it.

If you are in the Clinton, NY area for any reason and want the coolest historical place to stay, choose the Oneida Community Mansion House. The room was big, quiet and immaculate...staff was great, plus you get a tour of the Mansion included...don't miss it! You have to see and stay at Oneida to believe it.

They give tours of the mansion on select days and it is a bargain. Also,, you can learn a lot about the Oneida Community. The mansion is a beautiful building and the people who lived there were also an interesting bunch. They were inventive but had some strange customs the guide will tell you about.
