Events
From 2025 to 2027, we're marking two centuries since Robert Owen and William Maclure's radical experiment in social reform in New Harmony, Indiana. Our events invite you to engage with that era in New Harmony's history: its visionary aspirations, its conflicts, and its lasting influence on American thought.
Join us for lectures, programs, discussions, tours, performances, and experiences that examine the Owen-Maclure experiment's complex legacy.
