Historic New Harmony
Historic
New Harmony was founded by the Harmony Society in 1814. In 1814 this utopian
religious community was sold to Robert Owen. Owen attracted scholars, scientists
and educators to his frontier commune and together they made a profound impact
on American science, literature and art. Their homes and way of life are
faithfully preserved and interpreted beginning at the Atheneum, itself an
important piece of modern American architecture. North and Arthur Streets,
(812) 682-4474. Open daily April-October, November-March, call for hours.
