History at home in Harmony
HARMONY — Harmony’s homeowners showed hospitality to strangers and friends alike during the Harmony Historic House and Garden tour Saturday.
Board members of Historic Harmony and local restorers opened their doors to dozens of people and shared stories from the community’s humble beginnings.
Susan Webb, historic homeowner and organizer of the tour, said the five homes and gardens reflect the rich past of the Harmonists, a religious group that started the settlement in 1805.
“I hope people take away an appreciation of this area, not just Harmony, but Southwest Pennsylvania,” she said, “The ingenuity, artistry, the difficult work on the frontier setting the Harmonists experienced.”
