The Moravian Museum of Bethlehem documents the earliest history of the Bethlehem community in a variety of exhibitions spread around a complex of buildings that include some of the oldest buildings and most important in the Lehigh Valley. The main section of the museum is housed in the Gemeinhaus, which was built in 1741 and is the oldest building in Bethlehem and a National Historic Landmark. The five-story log structure served as a residence, school church, and workplace over its history and features interesting details like the herringbone-patterned doors. Visitors can explore the museum complex on docent-led tours to learn more about the early history of Bethlehem.
