Is New Harmony Even Real?

First of all, let's talk about the history of New Harmony, Indiana, and there is quite a lot considering the population is only 741. Of course, we know that the community exists, but it is often referred to as a 'Utopia'. The basic definition of a utopia is an imaginary society that lives in perfect harmony. There have actually been three versions of New Harmony Utopia.
