"Millennial Visions & Earthly Pursuits: The Israelite House of David" will
take place on Wednesday, January 10, at 7 p.m.

 

Millennialist preachers Benjamin and Mary Purnell founded the Israelite
House of David in Benton Harbor in 1903. Their religious commune soon
gathered hundreds of members and became an economic powerhouse, with an
amusement park, jazz band, and baseball team. Scandals and feuds rocked the
colony, but it survives as one of America's oldest communal orders.
