In the summer of 1950, New York City photographer Rebecca Lepkoff documented daily life in the community that had formed around activists Scott and Helen Nearing in Pikes Falls, Vermont.

The exhibit, Almost Utopia: In Search of the Good Life in Mid-Century America pairs Lepkoff's engaging, historic photographs and audio from interviews conducted by the Vermont Folklife Center with some of the pacifists, radicals and non-conformists who sought The Good Life in Vermont along side the Nearings.

Almost Utopia: In Search of the Good Life in Mid-Century America will be on display at the Vision & Voice Documentary Workspace from May 8, 2009 through September 15, 2009. :: link
