Communal and Utopian Societies Historical Markers
The US Library of Congress notes that although "the word 'utopia' is often associated with science fiction, utopian communities were a common fixture in nineteenth century America. Incorporating unique religious and social ideals, these communities grew rapidly during the nineteenth century before declining in the early twentieth century." This series includes markers highlighting communal and utopian societies throughout the world, whether they were religiously focused or secular.
