About MoravianHistoricalSociety.org
One of the oldest historical societies in Pennsylvania, the Moravian Historical Society was established in 1857 to preserve the history of the Moravian Church. The Protestant denomination was undergoing a major change at the time, transforming several "closed" communities in which only members of the church could live to "open" communities. The founding members wished to preserve the church's history and customs which they feared might be forgotten.
