Not all destinations are created equal. Experience the ENERGY that is New Harmony.

Ever since it was founded nearly 300 years ago, New Harmony has been a destination for thinkers and artists, scientists and scholars; for people searching for mental, emotional, and spiritual balance or harmony.



New Harmony offers the isolation needed for creating art, yet a chance to share in and to build your own community of like-minded peers. Its laid back atmosphere and natural spaces provide the perfect setting for contemplation, meditation, inspiration, and creative exploration.

It’s a place you have to experience for yourself.

“Surrounded by towering trees, gently rolling hills, and tranquil ponds, the acclaimed New Harmony Inn offers a peaceful retreat from the bustle of daily life. Set in a charming town, filled with art, gardens and original architecture.” Complimentary bicycles are available for casual rides around town, though the Inn is ideally located and within walking distance of pretty much everything. The Inn also boasts exceptional food at the Red Geranium Restaurant and The Grapevine Pub.

For more information on this charming town, go to Visit New Harmony.
