Moravian Museum

The Moravian Museum in Bethlehem provides information on the founding of Bethlehem and the history of the Moravians. This history includes the Moravians educational program, how they lived, and details about their religion. However, the Moravian Museum website mainly gives an overview of the 1741 Gemeinhaus, which is the building that holds the museum. The Gemeinhaus is recognized as a National Historic Landmark (it’s the birthplace Lewis David von Schweinitz, who is the Father of American Mycology), and is the oldest building in Bethlehem. Also, the building used to be a resident hall for the unmarried women, and could hold about 80 people. Although the website does mention other buildings to visit, such as the Nain Schober House and the Apothecary, it primarily presents the Gemeinhaus as a source of German influence and a prime example of Moravian culture.

I think the Moravian Museum has a good website that provides all of the necessary contact and tour information that visitors would need. Also, it highlights their most popular features and gives a basic rundown of Moravian culture.
