New Harmony, Historic commune town in Posey County, Indiana, United States.
New Harmony stretches along the banks of the Wabash River, featuring restored buildings, gardens, and educational centers across its planned layout.
German Pietists established New Harmony in 1814 as a religious settlement, followed by Robert Owen's socialist experiment from 1825 to 1827.
The town maintains multiple museums, art galleries, and educational facilities that document the evolution of communal living and social reform movements.
Visitors can access guided walking tours throughout the historic district, with information centers providing detailed maps and educational materials.
The town implemented two different communal living systems within a decade, testing both religious and secular approaches to shared resources.
