Atheneum Visitors Center, Historic New Harmony — Attraction in New Harmony

This review is specifically about the tour of New Harmony that starts and ends at the Atheneum (which is where you buy tickets). The tour is great! I took the tour on May 22, 2022 with Kaitlyn (sp?).

They have a delectable Yellow Tavern that serves the tastiest food I've had in some time. It had a "Grandma's Cooking" type taste and boy did it satisfy my hunger.
