New Harmony was founded almost two hundred years ago first as a spiritual community, then as a haven for scholars, scientists, and educators whose visions of a utopian communal society gave rise to many progressive ideas and philosophies and inspired social change. We’d like to hear from all of you what your ideal vision of “Utopia” would be and why.
Volunteers are needed to assist the interpretive and sales staff with regular daily programs and activities, or to take part in special events and educational programs. Scheduling is at the convenience of the volunteer and training is provided.
In addition to sharing New Harmony’s unique history with visitors, benefits include free tours for the volunteer and the volunteer’s immediate family, sneak previews of exhibits and much more.
If you are interested in dedicating a few days each month to Historic New Harmony, please contact us at 812.682.4488 or harmony@usi.edu.
