Explore the 26th World Heritage Site in the United States – Moravian Church Settlements – Bethlehem – on this exciting 90-minute tour.
This comprehensive tour of Moravian Church Settlements – Bethlehem’s buildings and sites focuses on the approximately two-square block area of historic downtown Bethlehem that the Moravian settlers recognized as the center of their community, as well as the living heritage and traditions that the Moravian Church Settlements still carry out today.
On this tour, you’ll discover the Moravians’ history as you start out at the Moravian Museum of Bethlehem, in the 1741 Gemeinhaus, the only 18th century Moravian Gemeinhaus still in existence in the world. Next, you’ll visit the Bell House Courtyard to see the 1746-1749 Bell House, the First Single Brethren’s House/the Single Sisters’ House and the 1768 Widows’ House. Following this, attendees will step inside the 1751 Old Chapel and the 1803-06 Central Moravian Church Sanctuary before walking through God’s Acre cemetery, the final resting place for Moravians from 1742-1911. The tour concludes on Main Street with a look at the 1748 Second Single Brethren’s House and the 1761 Tannery and 1762 Waterworks in the Colonial Industrial Quarter.
After your tour concludes, you are invited to return to the Moravian Complex for a more in-depth tour of the Moravian Museum.

Well before the Industrial Revolution, the early Moravians built a thriving community in Bethlehem near the confluence of the Monocacy Creek and Lehigh River. Completely self-sufficient, these industrious settlers quickly established the largest concentration of pre-Industrial Revolution technology in the nation, with approximately 50 crafts, trades and industries in operation by the mid-1750s.
When Founding Father and later president John Adams visited Bethlehem in 1777, he wrote to his wife, Abigail, that the Moravians had “carried the mechanical arts to greater perfection here than any place which I have seen.”
On Birthplace of Industry, sparks will fly as a certified Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites guide dressed in 18th century Moravian attire leads you through what is widely regarded as the nation’s first industrial center, the Colonial Industrial Quarter.
Visit the 1750/1761 Smithy, where you’ll see blacksmiths hard at work pounding the anvil as they craft many of the same items that Moravian blacksmiths produced more than two centuries ago.
Go inside the 1762 Waterworks, the first pumped municipal water system in the nation, and see the 18-foot-in-diameter undershot waterwheel that turned a mechanism that pumped water from the spring uphill to a tower in the heart of the early Moravian settlement.
See the 1761 Tannery, an essential site for leathermaking for more than 100 years, and the archeological remains of the Butchery, Dye House & Pottery, all part of Moravian Church Settlements–Bethlehem.
Stop by the 1869 Luckenbach Mill and newly restored 1782/1834 Grist Miller’s House, where you’ll learn about the milling of grain, the first industry to be established in Bethlehem in 1743.
Bring the family and friends, explore Bethlehem’s Colonial Industrial Quarter and discover the Birthplace of Industry in America!

The Rev. Dr. Frank Crouch – Guest Preacher & Lectures
2025-06-01 10:00 - 11:00 | Central Moravian Church, 418 Main Street, Bethlehem, 18018
When it comes to race and racism, Moravians have our own stories of villains and heroes, complacency and prophecy, complicity and resistance. Moravian archival records, both North and South, reveal a long-term insider view of the actions and decisions of church leaders, congregations, agencies, and Synods. Some of these have lain dormant, without public discussion, for decades or centuries. We’ll explore some of the lowlights and highlights of what Moravians have done––for worse and for better––with respect to slavery, segregation, and discrimination. These sometimes sobering, sometimes inspiring stories offer both a lens and a mirror, as we look at “them” then and ourselves now. The Rev. Dr. Frank Crouch will be our guest preacher on June 1st and will present his two-part lecture series on Wednesday, June 4 and Wednesday, June 11 at 7 p.m. in the Christian Education building, lower level. Both lectures will also be available through Zoom; the links are below:
