The Association of the Harmony Society

The Association of the Harmony Society was a religious group founded in the early 19th century by Johann Georg Rapp and his followers. They believed in communal living, sharing property, and dedicated themselves to a life of simplicity, spiritual growth, and service. The society established colonies in the United States, notably in Indiana and Missouri, where members worked together and lived harmoniously. Their goal was to create a community based on their faith and communal ideals. Over time, the society disbanded as members moved on, but their efforts reflected a commitment to community and spiritual principles during that era.
