A Quaint Town With a Lot of History

New Harmony, Indiana is a small town with a lot of history.  New Harmony is a national historic landmark and was first settled over 200 years ago.  NewHarmony-in.gov says:

Settled in 1814, New Harmony was first a spiritual sanctuary for the Harmonie Society and then a haven for international scientists and scholars led by Robert Owen in 1825.

With a history dating back more than two centuries ago, you know there has to be some interesting and even creepy history too, so New Harmony is the perfect backdrop for a murder mystery party.

Thrall's Opera House

Thrall's Opera House is a part of the Indiana State Museum Historical Sites. According to Indiana State Museum, Thrall's Opera House was built to be a communal dormitory in 1824 but was later converted into a Victorian theater.  It is an absolutely beautiful building in New Harmony, that has been restored back to its Victorian look.  A building like this is the perfect place for a roaring 20s murder mystery.
