A religion doomed to failure from the start?
Might this be Harmony, PA, where the Harmony Society, or Rappites, estabilshed a colony in Butler County, PA?
While considered similar to the better-known Shakers to some extent, the Harmony Society practiced celibacy. Presence of the "women's dorm" leads me to believe you visited Harmony.

P.S. (Not that this will be helpful) You can see in the shot of the fabric shop the start of the cornfield in the earlier shot. Where does one find a tourist area that includes elements of farming, fabric arts, slow lifestyle, and religious sects within a days drive (or less) of Huntingon, PA?
