The Athenaeum is located in New Harmony, Indiana. It was completed in 1979. This structure was named for the Greek Goddess Athena. The building is set up for visitors that arrive by boat to the structure. Throughout the place views of the town and nature can be seen. This is due to the design of the stairs, and windows. The stairs have a winding position, and is said when you look back, you can see how you got there. The path, a key feature in the design, and the interior and exterior space gives another add to the historic town.
