Historic New Harmony is hosting a free social gathering for local history lovers, Talking History, at the Schnee-Ribeyre-Elliott House at 603 West Street, New Harmony, Indiana, on Thursday, September 25 at 10 a.m. Central Time. The idea behind Talking History is to provide opportunities for people to meet to share and discuss historical topics of interest related to the town of New Harmony. Though each informal meeting will be guided by a pre-announced theme, participants are free to go "off script" and take the conversation in different directions. Historic New Harmony staff plan to share a variety of selected objects and other materials from the HNH collections to spark discussions. These items will relate to the monthly theme.
The theme for September 2025 is When We Were Kids...
The discussion will center on what life was/is like for kids in New Harmony and elsewhere. How have things changed for kids over the past 50 years? What did you play with and what activities did you do as a kid? Did you notice any big changes in New Harmony or your community while you were growing up? If you could bring back something from your childhood, what would that be?
We invite you to bring photos, drawings, writings, toys and other things that you created, played with or treasured as a kid. Our staff will also share kid-related objects from our museum collection that day.
We welcome community members, visitors, and anyone else interested in New Harmony's history to this FREE event. For more information, contact Heidi Taylor-Caudill at [email protected] or 812-682-6133.
