Utopian dreams are close to mind during this uncertain time. One of those Utopias is in New Harmony, Indiana, a home to myriad labyrinths. Some made of stone, others with traditional hedges—but each a place for peaceful meditation. Today`s #travelmemory highlights a very special labyrinth that #TinyWorldTours had the opportunity to bring their guests to last September: this particular labyrinth was carved and shaped by the artist hands of Ben Nicholson, resident of New Harmony. It is maintained without any equipment, except for the feet of its creator and invited guests, as well as much patient nurturing. Truly a beautiful piece of experiential land art.
🎶”I feel like I’m stealing Heaven, you’re everything I don’t deserve. Never thought holding an Angel could ever happen here on Earth. When you smile at me, baby I can’t see how this could ever be wrong. Stealing Heaven is the best thing this desperados ever done.” 🎶- diehardcowboy_

Many claim New Harmony is a utopia. Johann Georg Rapp and his Harmonie Society founded Harmonie on the Wabash in 1814. The Harmonists called the town their “neu Harmonie” having left their initial American home in Harmonie Pennsylvania. Its members were Separatists from the German Lutheran Church. This millennial society, waiting for Christ to come, build 180 buildings in the 10 years they were here and many are still standing today. They produced quality products including textiles, rope, barrels, tin ware, leather goods, candles, bricks and much more using the latest machinery and technology available. Because beverages were in demand in neighboring and river towns, wine, whiskey and beer were produced in large quantities. The daily production of whiskey was about 32 gallons and 500 gallons of beer were brewed every other day. The Harmonists applied their shared work ethic to achieve uncommon economic success, but in 1824 moved back to Pennsylvania and built their third town called Economy.
Robert Owen, a Welsh-born industrialist and social reformer, and William Maclure, an educator and the Father of American Geology, purchased the town from Father Rapp in 1825 and the second utopia was to be a new moral world based on equal education and equal social status. They brought the “Boatload of Knowledge” to New Harmony, navigating here with many scientists and educators including Entomologist and Conchologist Thomas Say. Years after Say’s death, his firefly became Indiana’s official state insect on March 23, 2018. Although their utopian vision eventually dissolved, the creative efforts of the Owen/Maclure period are still evident today.
The third utopia can be attributed to Jane Blaffer Owen (1915-2010). During her tine in New Harmony she brought modern architecture to the town, such as the Roofless Church, the Atheneum and many public art pieces. She created serenity with Tillich Park, Church Park and the Cathedral Labyrinth and has left behind a legacy all her own.
Utopia hasnt’ ceased to exist even today in this captivating little Southern Indiana town. New Harmony is full of life, offering all sorts of activities from one of a kind eateries, specialty shops, antiques, festivals, art, nature and history. Visit New Harmony and you’ll find yourself coming back to experience utopia for many years to come.
