THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PLANNERS
has designated
NEW HARMONY, INDIANA (1814-1827)
as a
NATIONAL PLANNED LANDMARK
George Rapp's New Harmony was surveyed on August 8, 1814. Within ten years, the Harmonists created a center of commerce and religious communal living on the frontier. Social theorist Robert Owen purchased the Town in 1825 and, together with his partner William McClure, made New Harmony a pioneering American secular communitarian settlement and the model for nine other American Owenite communities established between 1825 and 1843.
