Join us for our reception! Feel free to roam the beautiful grounds and take in the fall scenery. Parking is located to the left of the main house and will be directed. Guests can be dropped off in front of the Carriage Barn. The Carriage Barn at Frog Pond, originally called Community Place, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is the site of a 1840’s socialistic communal experiment that denied religion, government, and individual property ownership; advocated free love, and prohibited meat, narcotics, and alcohol. Community Place was founded by John Collins, who was active in the anti-slavery movement and a companion of Frederick Douglas before coming to Skaneateles.
