Walk through history as we guide you to things to learn, places to discover, and events that help connect us to our rich heritage.
Join us the first Saturday of each month for a Burnside Barn & Farm Tour of the Johnson and Hass barns as part of our Saturdays at Burnside programming. You’re invited to explore the history of each special rustic structure at Bethlehem’s farm in the city — a part of the Moravian community since 1748.
The Johnson Barn, a bank barn typical of the mid-19th century, was built to increase storage. Farmers would drive their grain wagons up the ramp, or bank, to the threshing floor. On the lower level was a stable.
The Haas Barn is a smaller example of a mid-1800s bank barn. Today, it is used as a children’s activity center for Historic Bethlehem Museum & Sites.
Price and location
The Burnside Barn & Farm Tour is FREE and takes place at Burnside Plantation 1450 Schonersville Road, Bethlehem
