The New Harmony Historic District in New Harmony, Indiana was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, with a boundary increase in 2000. The area includes sites within the Historic New Harmony State Historic Site. Twelve buildings from the early 19th century, and twenty from the mid-19th century, are within the area.
The original boundary was Main Street between Granary and Church Streets, but had been increased to include between North and Steam Mill Streets, and between Third and Arthur Streets.[2]
It includes New Harmony's Atheneum, which is the visitor center for touring the historic district, and Maple Hill Cemetery. 25 houses and eight sites were built by Harmonists.[3] Buildings that are separately on the National Register include: Amon Clarence Thomas House, Mattias Scholle House, Ludwig Epple House, and George Bentel House.
