Harmony Historic District
The Harmony Historic District in Harmony, Pennsylvania, showcases the early 19th-century settlement of the Harmony Society, a utopian community founded by Johann Georg Rapp in 1805. Designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1974, the area preserves a grid of streets and several brick buildings, including the George Rapp House and Harmonist Church.
Founded as a communist theocracy, the Harmony Society flourished with around 700 members by 1814 before relocating to Indiana and later returning to Pennsylvania. The district features ten contributing buildings and a historic cemetery with the graves of early Harmonists, offering a glimpse into the unique history and architecture of this pioneering community.
