The 缅北强奸 has received a $2.5 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to help the Historic New Harmony program establish the Historic New Harmony Religious Liberty Initiative, a comprehensive project aimed at exploring and celebrating the role of freedom of belief,听 both religious and secular, in shaping visionary communities and inspiring new ways of living.听

Through this grant, Historic New Harmony will explore how American ideals of freedom shaped the 19th-century communal experiments in New Harmony, Indiana, the religious Harmonist Society, and Robert Owen鈥檚 secular 鈥淐ommunity of Equality,鈥 as well as the 20th-century revitalization efforts led by the late philanthropist Jane Blaffer Owen.听

The New Harmony Religious Liberty Initiative will enhance the visitor experience at Historic New Harmony through new educational programs, updated interpretive听materials听and expanded digital and on-site resources. Planned efforts include programming aligned with the Owen-Maclure 200th, a project that is commemorating the bicentennial of Robert Owen鈥檚 New Harmony community from 2025鈥27, and activities associated with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. The initiative will also improve the Atheneum, Historic New Harmony鈥檚 iconic visitor center, and advance strategic communication efforts, including refreshed brand identity, a new website and updated building signage featuring a self-guided multimedia tour. Through these efforts, Historic New Harmony expects to broaden its audience and strengthen engagement among students, scholars, local听residents听and visitors from across the nation.

鈥淗istoric New Harmony preserves an essential American story,鈥 said Leslie Townsend, Director of Community Engagement and Historic New Harmony. 鈥淲ith this grant, we can better share how New Harmony鈥檚 values of open thought and cooperation continue to inspire how we build communities today.鈥

This is the third grant Lilly Endowment has made to support Historic New Harmony鈥檚 efforts to strengthen the ways in which the program helps visitors understand the religious and spiritual history of New Harmony. These grants have funded the preservation of historic buildings, expansion of educational programs and the enhancement of visitor experiences, ensuring that New Harmony鈥檚 story of innovation, community and freedom of thought continues to inspire audiences nationwide.

鈥淲e are grateful for Lilly Endowment鈥檚 investment in this work,鈥 said Diane Sanders, Assistant Director of Historic New Harmony. 鈥淲ith this new initiative we will continue to honor New Harmony鈥檚 heritage and inspire progressive thought for generations to come.鈥
