Historic New Harmony¿s unique history is on display. This community, the site of two experiences in communal living, is a tribute to the following two societies as well as a vibrant and living community today. New Harmony, Indiana was founded in 1814 by the Harmony Society, a communal group originally from Germany with their first destination in Harmony, Pennsylvania. Ten years later the communal group settled on 20,000 acres in Indiana Territory on the banks of the Wabash River. After the Harmony society left the site, Robert Owen and William Maclure created a ¿New Moral World¿ based on culture and education. This course will provide an insight into Early community L8iving (ECL); what the Harmonists found when they came to Indiana Territory; how they carved a life from the wilderness; and also discuss the forward thinking ideas of the Owen/Maclure Community. This unique step back into time will include four demonstrations: open hearth cooking, rope making, candle dipping and butter churning.

Uncovering the Truth in History & World Events, Book & Video Series is a group of classes offered through the Community Education Department at Ivy Tech Community College that are designed to both entertain and enlighten people who are interested in learning more about politics, history, psychology and sociology but are either not wanting the traditional format or remember, from their own educational experiences, just how uninspiring high school and college survey classes were. Making use of modern scholarly work, popular television & movies, and a variety of other sources, in a classroom setting of lecture and discussion (heavy on the discussion), and an environment that promotes free thought, free speech and mutual respect for various opinions, attitudes and belief systems, the series is designed to expose students to a new way of learning and sharing ideas. Methods that not only promote and encourage self learning, but open mindedness and an understanding that our differences are what make the world a special place rather than being justification for hatred, racism and intolerance.
