The Oneida Community was an upstate tourist attraction right from the start, second, Valesky says, to Niagara Falls. I'm taking the same guided tour offered a hundred and fifty years ago to prim rubbernecks who came here to peep at sex fiends. I wonder how many of my vacationing forebears went home disappointed?

He mentions that back in the day, when one tourist was shown the cabinet she rudely asked her community-member guide, "What's that odor?"
