== Legacy == [[File:OneidaCommunityHomeBld.JPG|thumb|250px|right|From a 1907 postcard]] Many histories and first-person accounts of the Oneida Community have been published since the commune dissolved itself. Among those are: ''The Oneida Community: An Autobiography, 1851β1876''{{sfn |Robertson |1970}} and ''The Oneida Community: The Breakup, 1876β1881'',{{sfn |Robertson |1972}} both by Constance Noyes Robertson; ''Desire and Duty at Oneida: Tirzah Miller's Intimate Memoir'' and ''Special Love/Special Sex: An Oneida Community Diary'', both by Robert S. Fogarty; ''Without Sin'' by Spencer Klaw; ''Oneida, From Free Love Utopia to the Well-Set Table'' by Ellen Wayland-Smith; and biographical/autobiographic accounts by once-members including [[Jessie Catherine Kinsley]], Corinna Ackley Noyes, George Wallingford Noyes, and Pierrepont B. Noyes. An account of the Oneida Community is found in [[Sarah Vowell]]'s book ''[[Assassination Vacation]]''. It discusses the community in general and the more than five-year membership of [[Charles J. Guiteau]] β who later assassinated President [[James A. Garfield]] β in the community. The perfectionist community in [[David Flusfeder]]'s novel ''Pagan House'' (2007) is directly inspired by the Oneida Community.{{sfn |Ness |2007}} There is a residential building called "Oneida" at the [[Twin Oaks Community]] in [[Virginia]]. Twin Oaks, an [[intentional community]], names its buildings after defunct intentional communities.{{sfn |Adams |1973}} ===Oneida Community Mansion House=== {{main|Oneida Community Mansion House}} The Oneida Community Mansion House was listed as a [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1965,{{sfn |National Historic Landmarks Program |2011}} and the principal surviving material culture of the Oneida Community consists of those landmarked buildings, object collections, and landscape. The five buildings of the [[Oneida Community Mansion House|Mansion House]], separately designed by Erastus Hamilton, Lewis W. Leeds, and Theodore Skinner, comprise {{convert|93000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} on a 33-acre site. This site has been continuously occupied since the community's establishment in 1848, and the existing Mansion House has been inhabited since 1862. Today, the Oneida Community Mansion House is a non-profit educational organization chartered by the State of New York. It welcomes visitors throughout the year with guided tours, programs, and exhibits. It preserves, collects, and interprets the intangible and material culture of the Oneida Community and related themes of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Mansion House also houses residential apartments, overnight guest rooms, and meeting spaces.{{sfn |Barnard |2007}}{{sfn |Bedford Citizen |2020}}
