I found out about Taylor Camp a few weeks ago via Prism of Threads blog and have been reading about it ever since.
"Taylor Camp was born in the spring of 1969 when artist / oceanographer Howard Taylor (brother of actress Elizabeth) bailed out of jail a rag-tag band of young mainlanders arrested for vagrancy and invited them to live on his land; thus setting off immigrating waves of hippies, surfers, seekers and psychologically scarred Vietnam vets to Kauai’s North Shore.
Condemned by the State in 1977, government workers torched the camp before the last resident moved out, leaving behind ashes and magical memories of “the best days of our lives”.

ReplyDeleteamazing place.. awesome photos.. I've never heard of Taylor Camp and now I'm all curious.. I'm gonna read more about it..
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing..cool blog!
Very interesting! I had not heard of this place either. I recently read Arcadia by Lauren Groff and would highly recommend it. A beautiful, often heart-breaking story of the (fictional) rise and fall of an upstate NY hippie commune. Sound a lot like this one and I would imagine many many others...
ReplyDeleteYou would love the book! So many amazing photographs! x
ReplyDeleteThat is horrible that they torched that place!!! What a great find...I have been reading more about communes lately to do a post...now another one to add to my list... Thanks for sharing this..:)
