Infamous cult leader Jim Jones told his congregation in Indiana that the world would be engulfed by nuclear war on July 15, 1967, leading to a new socialist Eden on Earth, and that the Peoples Temple must move to Northern California for safety. During 1964, Jones made multiple trips to California to find a suitable location to relocate. In July 1965, Jones and his followers began moving to their new location in Redwood Valley, California near the city of Ukiah.


Jones and his followers were aggressively recruiting new members and many people in the Ukiah area, including our parents, were approached about coming to a "meeting" or a "service" at some point in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
