Settled in 1814 by a group of German Christian separatists who called themselves the Harmonists, New Harmony is a tiny town with a unique history. In 1824, the town was purchased by the wealthy Robert Owen, who dreamed of creating a community that supported education and equality for men and women. This dream fell to the wayside only three years later, but the town still made plenty of important contributions to the educational theory and the woman's suffrage movement. Today, visitors can learn about the town's fascinating history by taking a two-hour walking tour of the historic district.
