Harmonie State Park is just a few miles outside the town of New Harmony, another site of historical significance in southwestern Indiana. New Harmony evolved from two utopian communities of the early 1800s: the Rappites and the Owenites. Learn more about Harmonie State Park and the town of New Harmony.
