Dr. Henry, Professional Archaeologist (our archaeology “mascot”) visited New Harmony State Historic Site at the invitation of Kelley Morgan, the Site Manager (https://www.indianamuseum.org/historic-sites/new-harmony-historic-site/). Dr. Henry had a rock solid adventure learning about the town’s fascinating role in early American geology! He discovered that in the 1800s, New Harmony became a gathering place for some of the brightest scientific minds in the country. Early geologists and naturalists, such as William Maclure, David Dale Owen, Gerard Troost, and others (see https://www.usi.edu/science/geology-and-physics/new-harmony/geologists-of-new-harmony), came here to study fossils, minerals, and the landscape along the Wabash River. Their work helped people better understand the natural world long before geology was a widely recognized science. Stay tuned for additional posts about Dr. Henry’s visit to Posey County!
