How a splintered group of self-defined outcasts lost a battle of “nudes versus prudes”.
The trouble with Glennis, reasoned three residents of the late 19th century commune, was that it was just too rigid — the rules too numerous, the process of interpreting them too contentious. So the trio, who were among the the last remaining residents of the settlement, got into a hand-built boat in Washington’s Puget Sound, and rowed away. The year was 1896. With twenty dollars between them, they bought a plot of land on Joe’s Bay and established there an anarchist colony, free of rules. They called it Home.
