About Whitefield House

Whitefield House is one of two eighteenth-century buildings at the Moravian Historical Society historic site in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, alongside the 1740 Gray Cottage. The society runs a museum on the site with more than 20,000 historical objects tied to Moravian contributions to American industry, education, music, and art. Visitors can join docent-led guided museum tours, which begin at set times through the afternoon, and browse permanent and special exhibitions. The society was founded in 1857 and calls itself the third oldest historical society in Pennsylvania.
