Beautiful tour. Loved all the info & would love to hear more of the history.

[@HistoryMysteryMan]

Thanks...I want to revisit New Harmony...many new things to discover. Thanks for watching...HMM

[@kentdunn3288]

I ministered in Griffin Indiana, 1979 -1988, less than 10 miles North of New Harmony. While there my wife Connie spent a few years as Director of the New Harmony Weavers Institute where weaving materials, looms, lessons and anything to do with weaving can be found. Instructions from teachers from all over use to fill the calendar. Since moving we have returned many times to visit with friends.

Thanks Kent; I appreciate your feedback. I don't hear from a lot of folks on my small town videos, so it's great to get your perspective. The Weavers Institute sounds super cool...New Harmony is an awesome little town. Isn't Griffin the site of the deadly tornado that took out most of the town? HMM

[@kentdunn3288]

Yes, Griffin had two houses standing after the tornado. Folks still go to shelters when a storm threatens. Many of our friends at the time we were there lived through it. The cemetery has many headstones with the date on it. School was just getting out when it hit.

@@kentdunn3288 How tragic, and so sad. I should do a story on the town. Thanks again, Kent. HMM
