From the early 19th century until today, New Harmo

From the early 19th century until today, New Harmony has attracted people who go against society’s grain. First, religious separatists who dedicated their lives to God and preparations for the second coming of Christ, then secular reformers who believed a society based on equality and intellectual pursuits would lead to a better world for everyone. While these experimental communities failed, some of their utopian philosophies are still very much alive among New Harmony’s present-day artistic patrons. .

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” —

. The Labyrinth in New Harmony was originally desi

.
The Labyrinth in New Harmony was originally designed as a place for meditation and reflection by the Rappites, an ultra-religious German society, in the early 19th century. While a vow of celibacy ultimately ended the community’s hope for survival, the town of New Harmony still holds remnants of their attempt at a perfect society. The labyrinth is the most striking of these lasting remains. The Rappites viewed the labyrinth as a challenge and a symbolic attempt to overcome the issues in their life.
.
When the Rappites left their community, the labyrinth was left in disrepair until the mid-20th century. It was constructed as a classic labyrinth, with only one true path to the center, and although it was turned into a maze in the 1930s, a 2008 reconstruction based on archival information restored the labyrinth to its original form.
.
The labyrinth now stands proudly on the main street of New Harmony, Indiana, and is open admission-free year round. Visitors can take the challenge themselves, working their way around the shrub labyrinth toward the center, where there is a stone Rappite temple. For visitors lacking patience, gates allow for a shortcut directly to the center temple.
.
Along with the labyrinth, the town of New Harmony has preserved many of the older buildings of their first communities, and a walk through town provides a window into the workings of an early American religious utopia.

In each of their three towns (Harmony, Pennsylvani

In each of their three towns (Harmony, Pennsylvania 1805-1815; Harmony, IN 1815-1825; and Economy, Pennsylvania 1825-1905) along with churches, homes, and businessess, the Harmonists built a labyrinth. Most people today know of the Harmony Society labyrinths from the example at New Harmony, IN. That labyrinth is a 1939 recreation of the original labyrinth that was built, in what was then called Harmony, around 1815. Because their labyrinths were made of plant materials, they disintegrated without the constant care of the Harmony Society members; hence there is no original Harmony Society labyrinth in existence. .

Whose ready for homemade ice cream? 🍨 .
I am and just in time! We bought this antique White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer just last week here in our little town & I was waiting for the perfect time to share it! Thanks #virtualvintagehunt for the opportunity to share! .
I’m dying to try it! Anyone else still use the old crank ice cream makers? Last time I did we had several of us churning for an hour! Fun memories! .
I realized something this week. We don’t have to have every single item. I believe the item list is so everyone has a chance to participate. 😍 If you haven’t participated yet, I want to encourage you to join us!
We don’t have to do everything perfect, just perfectly “be ourselves!” .

“Set loose, a child would run down the paths, scramble up the rocks, lie on the earth. Grown-ups more often let their minds do the running, scrambling, and lying, but the emotion is shared. It feels good to be here.” — David Miller .

After spending two days shopping at three of my favorite antique shows, visiting friends, seeing other antique dealers that we have bought from & sold to throughout the years. It had me thinking about who we sell to and where we find antiques... I thought it might be neat to share that w you ~ We all buy from each other quite often, we are pickers & sellers! And, we all keep each each other in great antiques~ my friend Vicki and I decided to share each other after she bought these fabulous huge corbels for her upcoming Arthur IL show the first weekend in March! So check her out! She’s definitely #onetofollow for great antiques! .
