I spent a couple of hours yesterday morning driving a filmmaker around New Harmony to look at different sites for a future documentary project. A few photos of one of the town’s labyrinths, Richard Meier’s Atheneum, and the shore of the Wabash River.

Conference poster showing a photograph of a labyrinth with green hedges and a round brick building in the center. The text on the poster says “Communal Studies Association 2023 Conference October 5-7, 2023 New Harmony, Indiana.” The logos for the sponsors, University of Southern Indiana and Historic New Harmony, are shown at the bottom.

I’m excited to be attending the Communal Studies Association conference in New Harmony, Indiana today and tomorrow.

Thank you to @librarycolleen.bsky.social for coordinating matches between GLAM people on Twitter and those with codes for BlueSky. Someone donated a code to the cause with the condition that it go to a museum-affiliated person, which was me. I appreciate your generosity, whoever you were!

I first visited New Harmony when I was a teenager. I was planning to major in architecture and loved seeing the Richard Meier building here. The town’s history fascinated me. I’m so excited to be working here now with the HNH collections and to share that history with others!

I’m still getting familiar with the collections, but I know we have decorative arts, furniture, prints, medical equipment, textiles, photographs, slides, maps, books, and manuscript collections.

Have you ever visited New Harmony?

I KNOW! This is my second week here. So much cool stuff to explore and share from the artifact collections/archives.
