[New Harmony] Antheneum - Richard Meier
This is a collection of images from my recent architectural trip I took the weekend of the 17th-18th of May. Our first stop was the small town of New Harmony in the southern part of Indiana.

Directions and Context
New Harmony is off the beaten path and finds its closest larger cities to be Louisville, Ky and St. Louis, Mo. Each are at least an hour or two drive from New Harmony. There is a park area just out of the town that has camping but there are small cabins you can stay at in the town. I am not sure of any motel or hotel accommodation.
Be best way to get to the town is from Interstate 64, which runs between St. Louis and Louisville. From either direction you get off at State route 69 and follow the signs into New Harmony. The town is probably a 5 or 6 minute drive from the interstate. You will find a very quaint and charming setting with plenty of history here. The story of the town's origins are pretty interesting. Below are Google Earth images to further give understand of the location of the town. |
