Cannery operation in the Ruskin Cooperative photo - picture in Dickson, Dickson County, Tennessee
Cannery operation in the Ruskin Cave, photo from the Ruskin Cooperative Association Papers, 1896. The Ruskin Colony (or Ruskin Commonwealth Association) was a utopian socialist colony which existed near Tennessee City in Dickson County, Tennessee from 1894 to 1896. The colony moved to a slightly more permanent second settlement on an old farm five miles north from 1896 to 1899, and saw another brief incarnation near Waycross, in southern Georgia, from 1899 until it finally dissolved in 1901. |
