New Harmony offers many architectural
gems, from 19th-century log cabins to the stunning Atheneum designed
by world-renowned architect Richard Meier. Replicas of the original
Harmonist cabins are available for view, including a rare double
cabin that is the pioneer version of the duplex! Sturdy houses
built during the Owen period also have been restored and can be
visited on any of the Historic New Harmony tours. The Victorian
era saw the creation of many beautiful homes and the charming downtown.
A more recent addition is the innovative and lovely Roofless Church.
Well-kept homes and immaculate streets make an architectural walking
tour a delight.
