Historic Bethlehem Museum & Sites, Inc.

Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites interprets three centuries of the history and culture of Bethlehem from its founding as a Moravian community in 1741 to the 21st century. By vividly telling the stories of Bethlehem’s people through well-maintained buildings and sites, rare collections that are available through exhibits and research, and engaging educational programs, we show the zeal and commitment of Bethlehem’s community in forging our American nation.

We are part of an effort to bring World Heritage Site status to Historic Moravian Bethlehem. Joining the World Heritage List will give Historic Moravian Bethlehem the same global status as the Great Wall of China, Pyramids at Giza, Acropolis in Athens and Sydney Opera House as well as Independence Hall, the Statue of Liberty and the Grand Canyon here in the States.
