New Harmony celebrates the
founders of Fort Harmony September 2, 2006 with a pioneer musical “I
See Our Zion.”
This free event is open to
the public and is produced for the second year in a row Labor Day weekend.
The musical takes place at Old Fort Harmony just off exit 42 going west 1
mile on highway 144.
A 100 year old basket made by
Hans Ulrich Bryner recently contributed to New Harmony Heritage by Merne
Laycock Livingstone, granddaughter of William Alexander Redd will be shown.
Tours of the Lee/Redd/Pace
farm and Pioneer cemetery will take place along with historical lectures
given at the town park at 4:00 p.m. The park is near the LDS Ward which has a
monument on the grounds featuring the bell that summoned our ancestors to school
and church.
We hope New Harmony will
make this an annual event for all of us who want to visit our past .
