Failed Hollow Earth Utopia

Guided tours are offered, but we decided to take our time walking around. Allow yourself two hours and wear comfortable shoes; there's lots to learn. We stopped and asked questions from volunteers who were knowledgeable and friendly. There is a grave on the premises.

The grave is of Hedwig Michel, the last leader of The Koreshan Unity, who died in 1982.

Failed Hollow Earth Utopia

Was just there on a weekday, and everything was open. You could see the hollow earth model, the rectilineators and the often overlooked 91 key piano. On weekends, they have guides more often.

Several well-preserved buildings are open for tours. Informational video and great trails near lake.

The building with Cyrus Teed's "science experiments" is only open on weekends. Call first so as not to be disappointed. However, canoe rental is on the property.
