The Harmony Society was a Christian communal group that emigrated to Pennsylvania from Germany in the early nineteenth century, eventually settling in Beaver County. The 800 members practiced celibacy and worked for the good of the society. Embracing technology, they became early leaders in industry, manufacturing a variety of goods and materials, which they sold in their shops or across the country. The guidebook provides a survey of early communal societies, then focuses on the settlement at Old Economy Village, concluding with a tour of the buildings and grounds.
