A Tale Of Two Journeys - From Bethlehem to Salem
Advertisement
In 1766, 18 Moravian girls with two men journeyed by foot and wagon through the backwoods from Bethlehem, Penn. to Bethabara, N.C. These young ladies became the backbone of the Single Sisters and Older Girls’ choirs in Bethabara and Salem. One of the girls also became the first teacher of the Little Girls’ School, established in 1772, which became what is now Salem Academy and College. And just as remarkable, you’ll hear about the month-long, 500-mile reenactment of that journey, taken entirely on foot in the fall of 2021, one of the premier events celebrating the year-long 250th Anniversary of Salem’s founding in 1772, and underscoring the core value Moravians placed on educating women and girls.
Martha Manning, Virginia Hart, and Katherine Knapp Watts will speak about the two journeys and the importance Moravians placed on educating women and girls that continues today at Salem Academy and Salem College.
A portion of the proceeds of the ticket sales will go to the Salem Academy and Salem College. We hope you will join us!
