Abstract:
Lake Pleasant in Montague, Massachusetts, became a Spiritualist retreat in the 1870s and flourished into the 20th century. Thousands flocked there each summer to enjoy the water (said to have restorative properties) and to escape from the stressful effects of 19th century progress and industrialization. As a Spiritualist campground, Lake Pleasant attracted men and women whose reformist visions included the spiritual as well as the material world. They believed in the perfectibility of mankind, the full equality of the sexes, and in the possibility for communication between the living and the dead.
