About This Item
Lake Pleasant, Montague, Massachusetts: Lake Pleasant, 1914. Fine. Light toning, wrappers rubbed.. Photo-illustrated magazine and program for Lake Pleasant, a Spiritualist community founded west of Boston in 1870. At its height, approximately 3,000 spiritualists would gather for a summer series of lectures, seances, concerts and club meetings, including a large swath of programming specifically aimed at women spiritualists. The magazine contains: advertisements for local businesses, travel and accommodation; photographs of Lake Pleasant and activities; lists of clubs and sub-societies, such as the Ladies' Improvement Society (p. 14); committees; "Occult Plays" and other entertainment (p. 18); a list of mediums resident on grounds (p. 22); lectures by women spiritualists on astrology and the occult, and appearances by famed mediums; lectures on the topics of capital punishment and gender (see "Catching and Training a Wife", p. 39); moving pictures; and the community's six-part Creed, which focuses on the community's spiritual beliefs and morals. Includes several concerts, such as one featuring a soloist from John Phillip Sousa's band. Mary S. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Maude L. Bishop also hold prominent appearances.
