Fairhope, Alabama

Three centuries of Utopian dreams came true in the 1890s, when a group of idealists founded Fairhope as a cooperative colony on a lush bluff along Alabama s Gulf Coast. The visionary settlers thought their experimental village had a fair hope of success. An oasis of idealism and equality, Fairhope not only succeeded but grew into an elegant enclave of individualism and intellect. The bayside town is the world s oldest and largest single-tax colony as well as a popular resort that draws visitors from around the world. Photographic images herein capture the unique
development by adventurous characters with diverse backgrounds. This book is a map of Old Fairhope. "
