Brook Farm -

every morning the people in the Brook Farm society would wake up at 6:00 am and eat breakfast. In the summer time they would work for about 10 hours and in the winter they would work for 8 hours. After work dinner was served and after dinner they would have the reast of the time for personal enjoyment. It was common in Brook Farm for the people to listen to music often and go on picnics. They also enjoyed dancing and cardplaying and many other activites. Reading clubs were very popular and they enjoyed custume parties. Some other activites included: sledding, ice skating, plays, and some people sang. One of the most important things was "The symbol of Universal Unity." This was performed by the whole community holding hands in a circle and they would pledge to belive the truth of god and humanity. Many people were printers, carpenters, and mechanics.
