The Moravian Historical Society
Your Place to Discover History
The Moravian Historical Society (MHS) is home to some of America’s rarest treasures, illustrating the Moravian contributions to American industry, education, music, and art. Founded in 1857, MHS is the third oldest historical society in Pennsylvania. The historic site has two eighteenth-century buildings—the 1740-1743 Whitefield House and the 1740 Gray Cottage, the oldest extant Moravian structure in North America. The museum has over 20,000 historical objects important to the story of America. MHS shares the fascinating history of the Moravians through educational programs, guided tours, exhibits, and public events.
Located in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, โthe Moravian Historical Society is the third oldest historical society in Pennsylvania. The museum offers permanent and special exhibitions and a museum store that features gifts, books, and handmade artisan items.โ
