Members of the sect held all property in common, rejected patriarchal control, believed in equal rights for women, and practiced complex marriage (polyamory and free love) and common care of the children. The community prospered by making steel traps and tableware. Under external and internal pressures to change its practices, the social experiments were abandoned beginning in 1879 and by 1881 Oneida had been reorganized as a joint stock company. The community's large Mansion House survives as an apartment residence, museum, and guesthouse. Bibliography See C. N. Robertson, ed., Oneida Community (1981); E.
