The 1788 Gemeinhaus in Bethabara, established in 1753. This is the first settlement in the Wachovia which is the name the Moravians gave to the 100, 000 acres the church purchased from a lesser English nobleman that admired their faith and works. The Gemeinhaus housed the pastor and his family, a school and saal for worship and other meetings of the community.
Immediately below there is an interesting story of a Colonel, an Indian chief and a Moravian. The narrative takes place in the 1788 Gemeinhaus in Bethabara, NC. Just scroll down.
