From Independence to Idealism: The Revolutionary Roots of New Harmony’s Utopias

Join New Harmony State Historic Site for this guided 90-minute walking tour and step into the bold utopian experiments that were inspired by revolutionary ideas. We will explore how the ideals of the American Revolution—liberty, equality, reason, and the promise of social progress—created fertile ground for the religious Harmonists and the reform-minded Owenites to imagine new ways of living, and how those ideals shaped their goals, structures, and daily life.
