History

Posey County was the site of two of America's early utopian communities. German religious leader George Rapp and his followers prepared for what they believed was the imminent second coming of Christ. Scottish industrialist Robert Owen purchased the town in 1825 and brought science and cultural leaders to New Harmony, attempting to create a more perfect society. While both experiments failed, their legacies continue in the historic preservation and cultural atmosphere of New Harmony.
