Harmony Society, in specific by George Rapp
The town was known as New Harmony. Robert Owen had envisioned it to be a Utopian society, but it failed to meet his standards and he abandoned it.
The group that founded several utopian communities like New Harmony was called the Harmony Society. It was founded by Johann Georg Rapp in the early 19th century. They believed in communal living and religious harmony.

The commune established in New Harmony, Indiana by Scottish industrialist Robert Owen was a utopian community known as the New Harmony Society. Owen envisioned a cooperative society based on principles of equality, cooperation, and communal ownership of property. Despite initially attracting a diverse group of settlers, internal conflicts and financial struggles led to the dissolution of the community after a few years.
New Harmony, Indiana
People live in a commune in harmony. People sometimes live in groups with a shared belief and purpose--religious, counter cultural or political. Some are successful and some are not.
