New Harmony works for teaching and research in ways most places can't. We're a living laboratory with primary sources, historic sites and two centuries of experiments to study. We have funding specifically designed to support faculty who want to work here.
The Endowment for New Harmony Studies and the New Harmony Outreach and Engagement Grant exist to help you bring academic ideas to reality. Developing a new course that needs an authentic setting? Pursuing research that requires access to our collections? Planning student projects that benefit from hands-on learning in a historic environment? We can help make it happen.
Our staff works directly with faculty to create partnerships that actually work—the kind where classroom concepts connect to real places, objects and questions. Beyond reading about utopian communities or social experiments, students come here, see the buildings, work with primary sources and engage with history in ways that stick with them.
New Harmony has been inspiring innovative thinking for over 200 years. If you're faculty looking for a place that can enrich your teaching and advance your research, contact us. Let's figure out what's possible.
