Historic Moravian buildings with knowledgeable guides detailing community life
"Housed in an early 18th-century log structure long in continuous use, this museum occupies one of the largest surviving period log buildings and interprets the community's 18th-century history; it sits just steps from the main corridor on a nearby street." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"The Historic Moravian Bethlehem District in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, encompasses the community’s oldest surviving buildings and preserves what was once the center of Moravian religious activity. It consists of religious, domestic, and industrial components, showing the full scope of Moravian community life in a North American context. The district, which spans around 14 acres, includes more original structures than Colonial Williamsburg and features the district’s 1741 community house, believed to be the largest 18th-century log structure in continuous use in the United States." - Travel + Leisure Editors
