Nearby Historic New Harmony honors two unique communities from the early 1800s. The Rappites located here in 1814. They were fleeing from religious persecution and awaiting the impending millennium.

Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
July 7 Place family wants to return again by Ann F
park review stars; one to five Son and family came from PA to stay in cabin #6. Park and pool were nice and clean. Mornings were free to bike ride, afternoons to swim and evenings to reminisce. David Phillips and all the staff were just exceptional. Look forward to a return visit. Hope some of the recent monies from the state will help restore the dams for the lakes.
