Description
Join park rangers to learn about The Public Universal Friend (PUF), who identified as a genderless prophet and spoke at the Free Quaker Meeting House in 1784. The PUF preached about their belief that the apocalypse was near and that only those who subscribed to their beliefs would be spared. Eventually the PUF established a community in upstate New York.
