Formation of a Vision: The Development of Robert Owen and the How and Why of his Experiment in America

Join us for a special Owen-Maclure 200th program as Rod Clark shares a vivid exploration of the people and places that shaped Robert Owen’s visionary experiment in Community. Through images captured in Newtown, Wales and New Lanark, Scotland, Clark will trace the people, the landscapes, and ideas that defined Owen’s transatlantic world.

 Blending travel photography with historical insight, this program offers a unique look at how the ideals of the Community of Equality were rooted in and transformed by the places Owen called home. You will gain an understanding of the man that came to New Harmony to fulfill a vision of community, poor relief, and education reforms behind one of the most ambitious social experiments of the 19th century.

Free and open to the public.
