Brief Description of Event

Koreshan Community

In 1893, the Koreshans, a religious sect founded by Dr. Cyrus R. Teed, moved to Estero and built a settlement based in a commitment to communal living and a belief that the universe existed on the inside of the Earth. Living celibate lives, the enterprising Koreshans established a farm, nursery, and botanical gardens. Ron Westcott takes you inside the lives of this unique and eccentric group.
