Noblesville leads regional charge of READI grant

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville is leading the charge with several other communities including Fishers to attempt to COUNTY be named a Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative Grant recipient and receive up to $50 million for the region.

The initiative, also known as the READI Grant, was created by Gov. Eric Holcomb.

The state has dedicated $500 million to promote strategic investments to make Indiana a magnet for talent and economic growth, with each winning region eligible for up to $50 million.

“They’re asking us to select strategies to make positive developments in the following areas — quality of place and life, quality of opportunity, innovation, entrepreneurship and talent attraction and development,” City of Noblesville Development Director Sarah Reed said.

When the grant was announced, the City of Noblesville hired a consultant and united a group of mayors from Fishers, Carmel and Indianapolis.

“They all got together on the phone and decided to base the READI application around the White River Vision Plan,” Reed said. “I’m very thankful they did that, because doing the grant without some basis would be very hard.”

Reed said Noblesville is defining its region to include counties near the city that are contributing to or are affected by the White River watershed, labor shed and what the city is calling its “recreation shed.”

“That basically means that people will travel up to a certain distance to use an amenity like the White River,” Reed said.

The region includes Noblesville, Anderson, Fishers, Westfield, Carmel, Indianapolis, McCordsville, Zionsville, Hamilton County and Madison County.

The city is asking for information from each municipality in the region to propose projects they feel fit the White River Regional Opportunity Initiative, and then a steering committee of representatives from

each community will prioritize and rank the projects based on a set of criteria.

For Noblesville, Reed said there are three ideas the city plans to submit. The three themes the projects must relate to are environment, equity and economy.

“Noblesville has at least one project for each of those,” Reed said. “One of the projects is, we’ve engaged a consultant that was integral in the White River Vision Plan to look at the hydrology of the White River to make sure the ecology of the river itself is sustainable or else it won’t be an asset to all of us.”

Another project Noblesville will propose involves working with Nickel Plate Arts for culturally related arts projects along the river.

“One of the things the READI Grant allows us is the ability to move further with a couple of these concepts for projects,” Reed said.

The deadline to submit the plan is Aug. 31. Reed said the state will review the applications in September and October and that Noblesville and its region might be notified if it is selected to receive the grant in November or December.

For more, visit iedc.in.gov/program/ indiana-readi/home.

THE WHITE RIVER VISION PLAN The White River Vision Plan was published in 2019 and divides the river into zones intended to reflect the character of the surrounding community. It identified seven anchor areas for exploration.

It also outlined proposals for the future of the river, such as a viewing tower at Strawtown Koteewi Park, enhanced river access in downtown Noblesville, improved pedestrian crossings near Conner Prairie and more.

Hamilton County Tourism President Brenda Myers said the WRVP is a 30-year

plan and that organizers likely will pursue many grants to further the river’s reach and development.

“When the READI Grant opportunity came up and when the community leadership decided that the White River would be the spine of this redevelopment idea, we were thrilled, obviously, because it would give such a lift to the White River itself and to the communities around it,” Myers said.

LOOKING FOR A SIGN TO BUILD? The “Blazing the Trail” is on the side of the Fishers Police Dept. facing the Nickel Plate Trail (Photo by Jonathan Matthes)

New mural adorns FPD parking garage

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com A new mural, “Blazing the Trail,” adorns the wall of the Fishers Police Dept. parking garage facing the Nickel Plate Trail.

ART Terre Haute-based artist Becky Hochhalter painted the 1,000-foot mural. She completed the project on July 14.

“As this mural was the beginning of new and exciting developments along the Nickel Plate trail, it seemed that the community

was, quite literally, blazing a new trail for the enjoyment of all,” Hochhalter stated in a press release. “The name captured this next chapter in Fishers perfectly.”

The Fishers Art and Culture Commission funded the mural. Features include people representing Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern high schools; the Nickel Plate Amphitheater; the Bell Ford Bridge that will be reconstructed as part of the Geist Greenway; the FPD’s late K-9 Harlej; and 15 “hidden” butterflies.

FFD hires teacher as Community Risk Reduction coordinator

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Fire Dept. has a new Community Risk Reduction coordinator. Ashley Heckly, who has PUBLIC SAFETY spent a decade in education, including the past eight at Hamilton Southeastern High School, is heading back to the classroom to educate Fishers youth about safety and fire prevention.

“When I started teaching, I thought I would always be teaching science in the classroom environment,” Heckly said. “I didn’t even know that this was a possibility until I met (FFD Capt.) John (Mehling) a couple of years ago. I became connected with the Fishers Fire Dept. through my previous job as a science teacher at HSE High School.”

Heckly will not only be working throughout the HSE school district but also visiting earlier child education facilities, like day cares, and in larger public gathers to promote safety.

Ashley Heckly is the new Community Risk Reduction coordinator for FFD. (Photo courtesy of Ashley Heckly)

“Within schools, it will be K through 12, but then we will also try to set up community outreach to all ages, adults included,” Heckly said.

Heckly has lived in Fishers for eight years but grew up in Coldwater, Mich. She attended Michigan State University before transferring to Trine University, where she graduated. Her first job in Fishers was at Riverside Junior High School, where she taught eighth grade for a couple of years before spending the last six years at Hamilton Southeaster High School.

Monsoon Madness returns July 31

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com The one day of the year when Holland Park becomes a large water park is approaching.

Monsoon Madness RECREATION returns July 31 to Holland Park, 1 Park Dr. Fishers, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“We bring in seven or eight inflatable bounce house slides, then we hook them up to the water and create these giant water slides,” Fishers Parks Director Sarah Sandquist said. “It’s so fun. It’s something different that we do and host. I haven’t seen it done anywhere else.”

Monsoon Madness also will feature a mechanical shark and wave rider.

“So, you can surf at Holland Park,” Sandquist said.

To convert Holland Park into Monsoon Madness, Fishers Parks partners with the city’s public works department to tap an underground irrigation system to provide water for all the slides.

“We have great coordination from our public works department to make (the event) happen and that we aren’t ruining anything

For one day only, Monsoon Madness gives children the opportunity to enjoy waterslides in Holland Park. (Photo provided by Fishers Parks Dept.)

that is underneath the ground,” Sandquist said.

Centier Bank is the presenting sponsor for Monsoon Madness. The bank has been the presenting sponsor for all of the signature events for the parks department in 2021.

The event is free, but a 2021 Fishers Parks Event Waiver must be signed before anyone enters the event space. If someone has previously filled out the waiver at a prior parks event, such as Spark!Fishers or Mud Day, then the previous waiver still applies.

Third Movie in the Park set for July 31

By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com For the third time this summer, Movies in the Park will be presented in Holland Park, 1 Park Dr., Fishers. The next RECREATION presentation is July 31 from 9 to 11 p.m.

The movie is “Sonic the Hedgehog” starring Jim Carrey and James Marsden. Movies in the Park will be presented on the same day of another Fishers Parks event, Monsoon Madness.

“It’s the same day as Monsoon Madness, so you can really make a day out of it at Holland Park,” Fishers Parks Director Sarah Sandquist said. “Come out for Monsoon Madness, go home and change, come back for a picnic, or grab something from one of the food trucks on-site and then see the movie.”

Monsoon Madness is a temporary water park that will be disassembled by the time Movies in the Park starts.

Traditionally, Movies in the Park was presented at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. But this year, the event is taking place

The Movies in the Park in previous years was presented at the Nickel Plate Amphitheater, but this year movies are shown at different parks in Fishers (Photo provided by Fishers Parks Dept.)

in different venues across the city. Sandquist said between 500 and 700 people typically attend.

“It’s a great family friendly experience. Pack up a blanket, bring some snacks and watch a movie under the stars,” Sandquist said.

The event is free.

Worker injured in excavation at Deer Creek Elementary

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A Millennium Contracting Co. worker was injured July 17 during an excavating incident at Hamilton Southeastern ACCIDENT Schools’ Deer Creek Elementary in Noblesville.

Dustin Leake, 35, was pumping water from a trench and preparing to install a pipe when the ground gave way, trapping him up to his shoulders in an 18-foot ditch. Emergency personnel worked for several hours

to free Leake, who has since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home.

Fishers-based The Hagerman Group is the construction manager for the project and stated the cave-in is under investigation.

“Hagerman’s biggest concern is for the safety of all workers on our construction sites, so we will be working with the proper entities involved to determine ways in which these types of mishaps can be prevented in the future,” a statement from Hagerman read.

Fishers’ Tyler Downs ready to dive for gold in Tokyo Olympics Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com (Editor’s note: Tyler Downs is in Tokyo and declining media requests during the Olympics to focus on training. Quotes in this story were compiled by USA Diving and are published with permission from USA Diving) The sun was setting at Conner Prairie on the Fourth of July prior to the Symphony on the Prairie when the emcee recognized a teenager in the crowd: Tyler Downs, who had recently made the USA Olympic team in the men’s 3-meter springboard.

Downs, then 17, made quick work of accomplishing a lifelong dream of competing in the Olympics. But it took more than a decade of hard work to get there.

“It feels like I’ve been diving forever. It’s been 12 years,” said Downs, a Fishers resident who turned 18 this month. “Looking back at all the hard work to get here it makes it all the more special.”

BONDING WITH AN IDOL

Originally from Ballwin, Mo., Downs established strong Indiana ties before moving to Fishers to train under renowned diving coach John Wingfield, who also has trained, among other divers, Noblesville resident David Boudia, a four-time Olympic medalist.

Downs defeated Boudia at last month’s Olympic Trails in Indianapolis to make the Olympic team.

Boudia is one of Downs’ diving heroes.

“It felt like it wasn’t real,” Downs said. “(After the competition) he gave me a hug, and I just started crying, I couldn’t hold it in. And I heard him start crying. He was like, ‘Congrats, you did it.’ It was an Tyler Downs was 17 when he made Team USA for the Olympic Games.

insane moment.”

Boudia will soon be Downs’ coach at Purdue University, where Downs is heading in the fall as a pre-chiropractic major. Boudia was hired as a full-time assistant coach for the Boilermakers on July 21 after serving as a volunteer coach for the last several years while he trained at his alma mater.

“I’m going to have him as a mentor,” Downs said. “It’s going to be an amazing opportunity, and I’m going to learn a lot from David.”

Boudia also was impressed with the teenaged Downs.

“Tyler performed brilliantly through a high-pressured event, the Olympic Trials, to earn his first bid to the Olympic Games. He showed mental toughness and grit,” Boudia said. “This is just the start for him if he is able to stay grounded and humble with such high success at such a young age.”

KEEPING A CLEAR FOCUS

Downs is now in Tokyo waiting for his competition, set for Aug. 2 and 3 — the reward for a lifetime’s worth of training, distilled into a handful of dives in less than 48 hours. But Downs is not frazzled. Elite divers spend many hours on mental training in addition to physical training.

the same calm approach to every meet, regardless of the stage.

“I’m just taking (the Olympics) as every other meet that I have done, with no expectations,” Downs said. “I’ve made it to the Olympic Games. I’ve done all that work and now I’m just going to enjoy it and do my best.”

Downs applied the same even-keeled approach at the Olympic Trials.

“With all the mental training that I’ve done, to stay self-motivated and have so much composure really helps (my diving).

It also helps with my schoolwork for high

school,” Downs said.

Downs took on-line classes in Fishers while he trained for diving. He graduated from his on-line curriculum in the spring of 2021.

“It was just me and my laptop and doing all of this homework,” he said.

Downs is done with his homework; now the Olympic competition awaits.

MENS 3-METER SPRINGBOARD PREVIEW Tyler Downs’ event — the men’s 3-meter springboard — is set for Aug. 2 and 3. The finals will be at 2 a.m. Eastern Time Aug. 3 and will be livestreamed at nbcolympics.com/ schedule/sport/diving. It will likely be aired during network primetime coverage on those evenings.

The other American competing with Downs in the 3-meter springboard is another diver with Hoosier ties: Andrew Capobianco.

The Mineola, N.Y., native is a seven-time All-American at Indiana University, where he completed his redshirt junior season in 2021 as the Big Ten Diver of the Year.

Capobianco also will compete with IU alum Michael Hixon in the men’s synchronized springboard final on July 28.

International divers expected to challenge for a medal include China’s Xie Siyi, a four-time World Championship gold medalist, and Great Britain’s Jack Laugher, the 2016 Olympics silver medalist, and Germany’s Patrick Hausding, the 2016 bronze medalist.

Historically, Team USA has dominated the 3-meter springboard, winning 37 medals in the event’s history (15 gold, 10 silver, 12 bronze), 24 more medals than second-place China. But the Chinese have won five of the last six gold medals, and it has been a quarter century since America’s last medal in the event. Mark Lenzi won bronze in 1996.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Too uncool for school

On average Commentary by Terry Anker “So,” he queried, “on a scale of 1 to 10, where would you place your confidence in CNN?” Next, he asked those assembled their take on Fox News, the wouldbe yang to the Turner-spawned giant’s ying. Without hesitation, one claimed a stake in the ground, “I’d give one a zero and the other a 10!” As the conversation unfolded, each pronounced their own assessment of the relative surety in these two well-recognized examples of the Fourth Estate. At this luncheon, the disagreement, while significant, did not devolve. Fervent assertation of the superiority of one position over another was interrupted by gentle reminders of similar history and shared experience.

As views diverged, some subtly redirected those most vehement that relationships are not measured by a single conversation, nor should they be. Isn’t this good and responsible thinking?

Shouldn’t our views be tested in the expanse of time, learning and allowing each to mature and change to their own capacity?

But as the gathering dispersed and the check was appropriately divided, one might wonder, how do we good-thinking citizens find our way to common ground when so many of us consider the opposition to be of zero value, even as we laud our own views as irrefutable, perfect dimes? Is it possible that we are absolutely, conclusively and undeniably perfect? Moreover, is it possible that they are entirely, without question, unequivocally flawed?

As its central hook, the long-running television game show “Family Feud” polls our fellow citizens to garner an “average” American take on countless topics. It seems that we believe ourselves, in the majority, to be eights on a 10 scale as to how well-liked we deserve to be. But if half of us are tens and the others are zeros, don’t we all become fives?

Blech. My summer is almost over, and I feel as though I’ve only now begun to recover from last school year. Alas, in one week, I’ll be back in the classroom preparing for your beautiful teenagers and all of their angsty glory. And while there is some excitement about returning — I am most definitely a creature of routine -- this is the first July in awhile where I am decidedly not ready. I require more time!

Ask educators who taught through the pandemic craziness about their experiences, and you’ll probably hear similar horror stories. Having to teach kids online or in-person, or maybe both groups simultaneously, without shared materials and traditional resources — and always in masks and socially distanced — proved more exhausting than I think any of us realized until we were finished. I averaged 10 hours of sleep every night in June, as if healing from a long-suffering illness, and watched so many episodes of “Call the Midwife” I’m basically a certified OB/GYN who can manage her own bed sores.

And my big plans to get a jump-start on returning to a normal schedule completely fell by the wayside, as just the notion of opening textbooks and calendars brought on stress headaches and the occasional gag reflex. Zoom only intensifies my recently acquired PTSD, triggering the need for a dark corner, aggressive thumb-sucking and passionate pleas for divine mercy. Hail Mary!

Even vacationing failed to rejuvenate my spirit, thanks to an absurd amount of construction traffic and airline snafus. Can y’all say “jet leg?” How about “road rage?” Stupid travel!

So, as my summer draws to a close, I’m muttering “blech.”

Peace out.

READER’S VIEW

Stop ‘pronoun confusion’ Editor, I just watched the Hamilton Southeastern Schools webinar about “Awareness, Advocacy and Allyship.”

You (new HSE Supt. Yvonne Stokes) have just entered a school district that has people at the top that are too focused on “sexual confusion” and wanting to pass this confusion on to the students. What a mess you are facing. I hope you do not hold the views of those participating in this webinar.

We need the students in our district to be proud of being a boy or a girl and not feel guilty about it. We need counselors that

can help a young boy see that he needs to focus on being strong morally and mentally as a boy growing up into eventual manhood.

And young girls are urged and taught to be morally and mentally strong as she grows into womanhood, not wondering if they should become a boy. Get some solid, mature counselors to help any confused youth.

And stop making the confusion worse the way it seems to be happening now. Stop all this “pronoun confusion.”

Readin’, writin’, ‘rithmatic — let’s get our goals straight.

Gordon B. Rose, Fishers

We need the students in our district to be proud of being a boy or a girl and not feel guilty about it.

Hamilton County sizzles with burger choice options

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com At times, it seems like a new burger joint opens in Hamilton County nearly every week. But local burger FOOD restaurant owners aren’t concerned with the competition.

At Flight Burger in Carmel, owner Dallas Miller said the business model of offering half-sized burgers in sets of three, similar to flights of beer, is something no one else is doing.

“The flights of burgers make us different,” Miller said. “They’re 3 ounces, and sliders are typically 1 to 2 ounces. So, they’re half the size of a full burger.”

Every burger on Flight Burger’s menu can be ordered full- or flight-sized. A flight of three burgers, which adds up to 1 1/2 full burgers, is $11.99.

Flight Burger previously was a Burgerim franchise but rebranded when Burgerim considered bankruptcy. Miller said the biggest mistake he sees restaurants make is not putting all of their money back into the food.

“When we did our rebrand, we had US Foods, and all of our vendors come in and give us samples from the cheaper option to the most expensive option,” Miller said. “Everything from chicken, lamb, crispy grilled chicken and Wagyu, we went with the expensive option on everything. It was better.

We weren’t planning on doing it that way, but quality is a bigger deal than price.”

At Flight Burger, nearly all menu items are under $10. “(Full-sized) burgers are $8.49.

We just think that’s a good price point,” Miller said. “We make it work when we do our cost-to-profit.”

At Burgerhaus, pronounced “burger-house,’ in Carmel, executive chef Zachary Jeffries said it sets itself apart from the competition by giving burgers a twist.

“We try to utilize different recipes from different areas of the world and styles, to give it a bit of a different twist

All of Flight Burger’s burgers are $8.49, or they can be served as a flight of three, 3 oz. burgers for $11.99. The Western features Wagyu beef, bacon, barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese and an onion ring.

Burgerhaus features burger themes from around the world.

The Cozumel is Mexican themed with guacamole, pickled jalapeños and grilled pineapple.

Big Hoffa’s Smokehouse owner Adam Hoffman said he’s come up with the perfect smash burger, which consists of thinly smashed patties, cheese, house-made burger sauce and a garlic-butter toasted bun.

than a normal burger joint,” Jeffries said.

“We stand apart enough to where we bring in somewhat of a different clientele. A lot of burger joints, they’re really good, but they’re basic with bacon, egg and whatever type of burgers. It’s your classic. We are all about presentation and trying to make sure it looks pretty.”

Some of Burgerhaus’ international-inspired burgers include the Monaco, with white cheddar, sautéed onions and mushrooms, and the Corinth, with roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, red onion and feta cheese.

Big Hoffa’s Smokehouse in Westfield specializes in barbecue, not burgers. However, owner Adam Hoffman said he’s figured out the secret recipe for the best smash burger in town. Hoffman said he’s put the burger on the menu as a featured item three times, and people traveled to Westfield from more than an hour away to order it. He describes the burger as a “traditional smash burger” with a crispy underside to the bun, melty cheese, thin patties and a house-made special burger sauce.

Hoffman said Big Hoffa’s uses a custom blend of short rib and brisket to create the burger.

“It has a heavy beef flavor, and we season it ourselves, too, and it comes in fresh and not frozen,” he said. “I think it all comes from the quality of meat, but other things we do to make it great is, we toast the bun with garlic butter. We use an American, unprocessed, good-quality cheese, and the sauce we make in-house is similar to Thousand Island dressing.”

Hoffman compares Big Hoffa’s smash burger to In N Out, which is his favorite burger joint.

“I think people try to do too much,” he said about other burger restaurants. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with putting mushrooms, bacon, lettuce and strawberry jam on a burger, but I think people do too much. People want to taste the meat and cheese and how the crusty part of bun interacts with that part of burger. I think that’s the most important part of the burger — not trying to hide the flavor.”

Carmel Community Players’ season features lighter fare

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Community Players originally planned to end the 2019-20 season with “Shipwrecked! An PRODUCTIONS Entertainment.”

Then the COVID-19 pandemic happened, shutting everything down in mid-March 2020.

“Shipwrecked! An Entertainment” will now close the 2021-22 season. “‘Shipwrecked!’ is so important to me,” said Carmel Community Players president Lori Raffel, who Raffel will direct the play. “It was something that I worked on with (the late) Bryan Fonseca at the Phoenix (Theatre) before I left, and I really want to do it.”

Carmel Community Players has announced its season will open with “Boeing Boeing” Sept. 10-19, followed by “Holiday Shorts” Dec. 3-5. Both shows are at The

Cat in Carmel. The other venues will be announced later as CCP works on securing a new home by the end of the summer.

The 2022 portion includes “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime” Feb. 25-March 13, “The Fantasticks” April 22-May 8, “A Medley of Murders” June 10-19 and “Shipwrecked!” July 29-Aug. 14.

“It feels amazing to plan a season again and work with these great directors again,” said Raffel, a Carmel resident. “All these shows have humor as an important element.”

Rich Phipps, CCP vice president and Carmel resident, is directing “The FanPhipps tasticks,” a musical that debuted in 1960.

“I played the role of Matt, the boy, in a different lifetime (in a dinner theater near Buffalo, N.Y.),” Phipps said. “CCP has done the show twice before. For me, it is timeless in the sense that no matter what stage of life we’re in, we can all relate to one or more of the characters and learn or remember the bittersweet lessons that the real world teaches us about life and love.”

CCP will have three stage readings in August at PrimeLife Enrichment Center at 7 p.m. on Fridays and 2 p.m. Saturday. The three are “Tuesdays with Morrie” Aug. 6-7, “The Silent War” Aug. 13-14 and “Ripcord” Aug. 20-21.

Address: 110 W. Main St., Carmel What to get: Miso butter sea bass Price: $35 Anna’s take: I was immediately impressed upon stepping inside Monterey Coastal Cuisine in downtown Carmel, and I imagine most diners’ reactions are the same as there’s a fish tank with a live jellyfish right inside the front door. My experience only got better as I sampled the high-class restaurant’s variety of seafood and non-seafood options. I started with oysters on the half shell, half from the East Coast and half from the West Coast, because not much is more refreshing to me than a spoonful of house-made mignonette on a fresh oyster. I also enjoyed the salmon avocado sashimi appetizer ($17), which had some of the creamiest salmon I’ve ever tasted, and the yellowtail sashimi. For the

main course, my favorite dish was the sea bass, marinated in miso broth and served over sushi rice with fried Brussels sprouts and a sweet pea puree. The pecan-crusted halibut ($33) has purple mashed potatoes, blistered cherry tomatoes and a parsley oil.

The prosciutto flatbread ($15) is an excellent choice for those who aren’t fans of seafood.

Blueprint for Improvement: An outdoor oasis in Westfield Commentary by Larry Greene This 1996 home is in Westfield’s Oak Park neighborhood. The homeowners wanted to upgrade their outdoor space from a deck to a covered patio.

THE BLUEPRINT • The wood deck was removed and a concrete foundation was poured to support the new structure.

• The focal point of the space is the large gas fireplace, flanked by stacked stone walls and a generously sized limestone bench.

• The pine tongue and groove ceiling is accentuated by the stylish oversized light fixture.

• Stamped concrete was used for the floors as well as the sidewalks leading to the new structure.

Historic New Harmony sites revisited Commentary by Don Knebel

BE COOL! Our professional techs work hard to be sure you’re cool all summer long!

Notable sites in New Harmony, Ind. (Photo by Don Knebel)

the Workingmen’s Institute in New Harmony as a library for the education of workers, and his bequest funded 143 more. In 1894, Maclure’s original institute occupied a new Romanesque building, which now houses Indiana’s oldest public library. The second floor is a museum, displaying a number of important geological items and the skeleton of Old Fly, a Civil War horse.

The third phase of New Harmony’s progressive history began when Jane Blaffer married Kenneth Dale Owen, the great-great grandson of Robert Owen, and used her wealth and connections to restore and add to the allure of her adopted town. Among

her contributions are the Roofless Church designed by famed architect Phillip Johnson, its gilded gates open for worship by individuals of all faiths, and the Sacred Garden, featuring the Cathedral Labyrinth, a replica of the 13th-century marble and limestone labyrinth in the Chartes Cathedral outside Paris.

In 1825, Robert Owen, a Welsh textile manufacturer, purchased New Harmony, Ind., and its 180 buildings TRAVEL from the Harmonists, who had established the town along the Wabash River in 1814 as a religious commune. Owen then created a secular socialist society in the town, espousing fair treatment of workers and communal rearing of children, to test his published theories about utopia. William Maclure, a wealthy Scottish geologist living in Philadelphia, became a partner in the venture.

Maclure enticed prominent artists, educators and scientists to come by steamboat to New Harmony with 50 tons of books, tools and geological samples – the so-called “Boatload of Knowledge.” Within two years, Owen’s experiment failed, and he returned to Britain, but Maclure and the intellectuals he brought with him stayed. As a result, New Harmony became a noted repository of knowledge and progressive ideas, with the United States Geological Survey maintaining its headquarters in the Harmonist’s granary until 1856. In 1838, Maclure founded
