Title: Maze, New Harmony, Indiana
Creator(s): Highsmith, Carol M., 1946-, photographer
Date Created/Published: 2009 May 9.
Notes:
Neither private nor public mazes seem to have been popular in the early history of the United States. An exception is the maze that was planted in Indiana by a community of German immigrants - the Harmony Society. This group, which arrived in America in 1803-4, was a Protestant sect led by its founder George Rapp. They settled first at Harmonie (now Harmony) in Pennsylvania, and a decade later, moved to establish another settlement, named New Harmony, in Indiana. Here in 1814 they made a maze of vines and shrubs. European garden mazes at the time were becoming largely decorative amusements, but the Rappites maze was rooted in a symbolic purpose. It was intended to symbolize the spirit of their movement and the difficulty of achieving harmony.
