About Historic Bethabara Park

Historic Bethabara Park is the 1753 site of the first Moravian Settlement in North Carolina.
Moravians are German Pietists, who trace their origins to the Bohemian Priest, Jan Hus, martyred in 1415.
Historic Bethabara Park is located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
The City of Winston-Salem and the County of Forsyth share the annual administrative budget. The City Department of Recreation and Parks is responsible for the maintenance of the buildings and grounds.

The German-speaking Moravians appointed a town official to welcome and host English-speaking travelers with the settlement's famous hospitality.
