Robert Owen: The Eternal Co-Operator

Join us for the final Owen-Maclure 200 monthly lecture of 2026 as we explore the enduring legacy of Robert Owen, one of the nineteenth century's most influential social reformers and visionary thinkers.

In "Robert Owen: The Eternal Co-Operator," Ann Evans and Jan Scarrott, Trustees of the Robert Owen Museum in Newtown, Powys, Wales, will introduce audiences to Owen's birthplace and share how the community preserves, interprets, and celebrates his remarkable life and work. Learn how Owen's ideas about education, cooperation, and social improvement continue to inspire people around the world two centuries later.

While this marks the final lecture of 2026, visitors can look forward to a new slate of lectures and programs planned for 2027.

Discover the place where Robert Owen's story began and explore the lasting impact of a thinker whose vision of cooperation and community still resonates today. Join us as we conclude a year of bicentennial programming and look ahead to new opportunities for learning and discussion in 2027.
