Description: "Old Economy as I Knew It: Impressions of the Harmonites, their Village and its Surroundings, as seen almost a Half-century ago" is a first person account of Old Economy Village, a 19th century utopian community known as the Harmony Society. Practicing both industry and celibacy, the Harmonites built their community in Pennsylvania between 1824 and its dissolution in 1905. The community exerted a major influence on the economic development of western Pennsylvania. It is now operated as an historic site by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. This is a rare volume. Good condition. Canvas spline and boards are worn and chipped, but hinges and binding are in good shape. Mild foxing on pages, but they are clean and unmarked. Inquire if you need further information.
