A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT IN ONEIDA, NEW YORK
In the nineteenth century there was a village called Oneida in New York State where a "family" of 300 members lived together in a large beautiful
house where they shared everything.
A man named John Humphrey Noyes, and a small group of people moved there in 1848. They wanted a place where they could live according to
their particular beliefs in their efforts to create a more equal society.
Today, this place is touristic and, like me, many visitors come because they had relatives among those 19th century dreamers. Others just want to see
for themselves the building where this successful social group in American history lived. “I don’t know of anywhere else where you can live in a
historical place,” said the director of the Oneida site. “It’s very unusual.”
The present owners share the building with guests who stay in large comfortably furnished bedrooms with private baths. There are eight guest rooms
in the hotel area, and each guest pays $100 for a big bedroom, a simple breakfast and a private tour of the 10,300-square-meter building, which also
contains 35 apartments.
The library and the building’s grounds are also open to guests, as well as several of the public rooms. The 170-year-old library, unchanged from the
original construction, holds a rich collection of 19th century books and magazines, which learners used to study Latin, Greek, algebra and
astronomy.
This place is open for everybody and it’s worth a visit.

1. John Humphrey Noyes travelled to New York State

A. to visit his family.
B. to change his way of life.

D. To create a new school
2. All visitors to the Oneida historical site
A. have access to most parts of the house.
B. have to go to the 19th century library.
C. are not allowed to see certain places.
D. have to move to England

A. has changed a little.
