Moravian Museum of Bethlehem Tickets
The museum is located in the 1741 Gemeinhaus, a National Historic Landmark and a part of the Moravian Church Settlements–Bethlehem World Heritage Site.
Housed in the oldest building in Bethlehem, the Moravian Museum introduces guests to the city’s unique history that began with its founding by the Moravians in the early 1740s. Docents lead guests through the museum to discover the remarkable stories behind Bethlehem’s founders while highlighting the early Moravians’ community life, medicinal practices, missionary work, relationships with local Indigenous Peoples and progressive-for-the-time educational system.
The Moravian Museum of Bethlehem complex includes some of the region’s most important and oldest buildings. Due to its incredible history and architecture, the Gemeinhaus has been designated a National Historic Landmark and is part of the Historic Moravian Bethlehem National Historic Landmark District. It’s also a cornerstone of the Moravian Church Settlements–Bethlehem, the United States’ newest World Heritage Site.
Museum Accessiblity
The 1741 Gemeinhaus is an original 18th-century building without an elevator, so there is a flight of steeper historic stairs. Guests are welcome to remain on the main floor. Our guides are happy to describe what is on the other floor, and guests can watch a video showing what they would see on the second floor of the building.
