Visitors will be inspired and astonished by the determination, hard work and conviction of Bethlehem’s Moravian founders as they tour this museum housed in the 1741 Gemeinhaus, a National Historic Landmark and the oldest building in Bethlehem. The 2009 holiday season will feature period decorations including multiple reproductions of the candle-and-fruit decorated 1747 pyramid of greens, which has been called the “first recorded Christmas tree in America.” Included in the visit is "House on the Lecha: An Architectural History of Bethlehem’s Gemeinhaus,” a new exhibition placing the entire museum on display.
