In February 1825, when Lafayette headed south, Wright traveled northwest to visit [[Harmony, Pennsylvania|Harmonie]],  [[George Rapp|George Rapp's]] utopian community in [[Butler County, Pennsylvania]]. She also visited the Rappite colony established in [[Indiana]], which was also named Harmonie. At that time, the Indiana community was in a period of transition. It had recently been sold to Welsh industrialist and social reformer [[Robert Owen]], who renamed his utopian community [[New Harmony, Indiana|New Harmony]].<ref name=Sanders3-4/><ref>Elliott, pp. 145–47.</ref><ref name=Exploring1103>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=02K5EYvo5loC&q=Frances+Wright+co-founder+of+the+Free+Inquirer+newspaper&pg=PA1103 |title=Exploring American History: From Colonial Times to 1877|last1=Lansford|first1=Tom|last2=Woods|first2=Thomas E. |pages=1103–05 |date=2008|publisher=Marshall Cavendish|isbn=9780761477587|language=en}}</ref> Wright's visits to these utopian communities inspired her to form an experimental community, which she established in [[Tennessee]].<ref name=Sanders3-4/> After leaving Indiana, she traveled along the Mississippi River with her new friend [[Emily Ronalds]] to rejoin Lafayette's group in New Orleans in April 1825.
