Book Description
The Hopedale Community was one of the most important and successful of the many utopian communities started in the mid-nineteenth century United States. It outlasted its famous contemporary, Brook Farm, by nearly a decade. Though it did not succeed in ushering in "a new civilization radically higher than the old," Hopedale did provide its members with security, companionship, meaningful work, and the chance to make a difference in the world around them. In History of the Hopedale Community, Hopedale's principal founder and theoretician, Adin Ballou, provides a detailed record of the successes, failures, hopes, and disappointments of a small group of people attempting to live together harmoniously, balancing fairness and compassion, and giving practical expression to "their ideal of what human life and human society upon the earth ought to be." This new edition features: a newly restored map of Hopedale over 300 many explanatory notes a table of members, drawn from the membership records of the community

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Hopedale Community: From Its Inception to Its Virtual Submergence in the Hopedale Parish This volume is the second in the list of those prepared by the author and left in manuscript at the time of his decease, with definite instructions in regard to their publication. It contains the story of an undertaking with which his name was more closely identified than that of any other person, to which he devoted the best years of his life, and for which, out of a disinterested desire to promote the well-being and happiness of his fellow-men, he was willing to "both labor and suffer reproach." Its acknowledged Founder and the Framer of its Constitutional polity, acquainted with all its members and familiar with its methods of operation throughout its entire career, he, above all others, was qualified to be its historiographer and its ambassador to coming generations. Let his record and testimony concerning it be read, appreciated, and honored accordingly. That undertaking can be fully understood and its significance justly estimated only by considering the circumstances under which it was projected and the relation it sustained to certain great currents of thought and conduct prevailing in the general community at the time when it first claimed the attention of philanthropists and the public at large. Such consideration will give it the proper perspective and assign it to its rightful place in the order of human events and in the work of benefiting and blessing mankind. The decade of United States history beginning with the year 1840 was characterized, as intimated on a succeeding page, by an unprecedented manifestation among the people at large of that "enthusiasm for humanity" out of which great moral reforms chiefly spring and all endeavors for the amelioration of the condition of the suffering masses of men, and for the betterment of the world.

Book Description
It began quietly in 1842 as a utopian community known as the Dale of Hope on farmland that was then part of Milford. The followers of Rev. Adin Ballou settled in that year, sharing a farmhouse and chores, as well as ideals and abolitionist inclinations. After the longest-running utopian experiment in Massachusetts faltered, however, the community underwent a dramatic renaissance beginning in the 1850s. Within a few short decades, the Draper family became a driving force-instrumental in the community's separation from Milford, incorporation as Hopedale and development as the cotton loom-making capital of the Industrial Revolution. Hopedale contains more than two hundred photographs portraying life, leisure, and community spirit in Hopedale from the 1840s to the early 1960s. Included are the town's industrial center, public buildings, parks, unique duplex housing, and ostentatious mill-owner homes. Hopedale depicts the town undergoing times of prosperity and facing floods and other disasters. It also examines the citizens working hard, enjoying time off, and displaying their patriotism.
