Immerse Yourself in Small Town Cultural Living

We understand how important it is to let our residents live life independently and enjoy the world around them. At Charles Ford Retirement Communities, we take pride in immersing ourselves in the unique culture that surrounds us. New Harmony, Indiana, is a one-of-a-kind, small town, cultural community that provides a place for you to thrive and enjoy the true beauty of life as you age.

Community Golf Cart Cruises

Learning to enjoy life’s blessings is about sitting back, relaxing and enjoying life’s beauties. New Harmony offers a peaceful environment, a sort of utopia, where residents can escape from the hustle and bustle of their everyday lives. And being a small, golf cart community, we love taking our residents on peaceful cruises through our historic neighborhoods. There’s so much history and culture that surrounds us here–Harmonie State Park, historic downtown New Harmony, Tillich Park, Labyrinth State Memorial, the Roofless Church.

Explore, Play or Both

Whether you prefer to learn, play or learn while you play, New Harmony has it all. From the historic beauty of Harmonie State Park, Tillich Park, and local farms and gardens to the spiritual atmosphere of the Roofless Church, Cathedral Labyrinth and Sacred Garden or Our Lord’s Woods to the local arts and architecture at the Women’s Institute & Gallery, Working Men’s Institute – Murphy Gallery or the Rapp-Owen Granary, we encourage our residents to immerse themselves in the unique culture of New Harmony.

If you’re interested in learning more about the community’s surrounding history, check out any of New Harmony’s walking tours.

Performing & Visual Arts

Live shows are best with historic theater acoustics. Our residents get to experience this first-hand. New Harmony offers a variety of shows year-round at The Opera House and the New Harmony Theater. With unique performances each week from the New Harmony Artists Guild, our residents are never bored!

Shop a Little…Browse a Little

From ornate dolls to unique heirlooms, New Harmony has a beautiful selection of local antique stores that are full of treasures that our residents love. With plenty of homemade items, natural soaps, skin health products, creative floral arrangements, handmade clay pottery or vintage jewelry to choose from, our residents always can always find something that makes them feel at home.

These are just a few of the many places to go, things to see, activities to do and cultures to explore in historic New Harmony. Of course, we take our residents all across the tri-state, but it’s just not necessary to travel far when Charles Ford Retirement Communities is located right in the middle of it all! Come experience the difference for yourself. Call us today to schedule a personalized tour and enjoy a free lunch on campus from our master chef!
