New Harmony Tram Tour
Your Perfect Introduction to Town
10 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Tuesday-Saturday
Settle in for a comfortable 45-minute journey that introduces you to New Harmony's extraordinary story without the walking. Our interpreter-led tram tour winds through the historic district of town, offering glimpses of Harmonist buildings, Victorian-era homes, beautiful gardens, and striking modern architecture and public art. Perfect for visitors with mobility concerns, families with small children, or anyone wanting a relaxed overview before exploring on foot, this introductory tour provides commentary about the three utopian communities that shaped this remarkable place. You'll see the major landmarks and hear stories that will help you decide which sites to revisit during your stay. Your interpreter will also show you options for dining, shopping and places to stay.
The Tram Tour runs Tuesday through Saturday at 10 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Central Time, departing from the Atheneum Visitors Center with easy boarding and comfortable seating.
