A small visitor and information center is housed in the restored 18th-century Wolff-Moser farmhouse. We chatted with a fellow there that gave us a brief history of Bethania and the NC Moravian settlements while I loaded up on brochures. |
In the 1720's, the Moravian community near Dresden, Germany, established their first permanent settlement. From there, international missionary communities began settlements in Bethlehem, PA (1740) and continued into NC with a 98,985-acre land grant called the Wachovia Tract, beginning in 1753.
Enjoy your Sunday edition of Postcards, thanks for stopping by, and I'll chat with you tomorrow.
