Welcome to Quarry Hill's Blog!

Quarry Hill Creative Center in Rochester, VT, founded 1946 by Barbara and Irving Fiske, is Vermont's oldest alternative community and at one time was probably also its largest. In the 60s -80s, as many as 90 people lived here.
It was and is visited each year, often in summer (but in every season, really) by visitors from all over the world.
We welcome interesting and creative people who are peaceful, bring no weapons, don't believe in hitting children or killing animals, and enjoy the beauty of Vermont and of themselves.

Most of us do not adhere to any particular dogma or religion, though many do find Eastern philosophy closest to our own thought (some of us are also members of the Quakers/Society of Friends).
We value the individual, particularly people who are energetic and have a sense of humor.
Visitors are welcome-- and prospective residents, too. There are some places for rent, others for sale. If interested, get in touch!
And, please follow the Blog and comment whenever you like!

"The symbol is the enemy of the reality, and the reality is ever one's true guide, true friend, true companion, and true self." Irving Fiske, 1908-1990

What do you think of plural marriage? If it's one man and three or four women, is it "worse" than if all partners have multiple relationships? Do you prefer monogamy?  Have you ever seen this show?
It's sort of like Big Love, but is a real situation-- Mormon Polygamists who got themselves in trouble in Utah by "coming out of the closet" and revealing their marital situation.
Check it out and let me know what you think. I find all kinds of human relationships interesting, but I have to admit that while I'd like some sister wives -- as friends and companions-- I don't really think it's fair for the man to have several wives while the women have only one husband.

The Joseph Smith memorial is near here in South Royalton or Sharon, I believe. Mormonism started here in Vermont, like a lot of other unusual things. I wonder what JS would have thought of these tv shows about the religion he founded. On the other hand, TV probably wouldn't phase a guy who, if he really did, was able to read heavenly writing on golden plate, through special goggles...
Life is so strange sometimes.
