Historic Harmony Walking Tour
The walking tour of Historic Harmony will allow you to browse through our quaint community to see buildings built by the Harmonists in the early 1800’s, walk-through both the Harmonists and Mennonite cemeteries, and even grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. The hike can be as long or as short as you desire.
If you want to do the entire hike, plan on at least 2 hours and about 3 miles of walking, but you can see most of the properties within the town in 20 minutes and just ¼ mile of flat walking.
