ABOUT US
GET DOWNTOWN BETHLEHEM
“This is definitely the prettiest and most historic industrial park around. Historic Bethlehem Inc has restored several buildings from the period of Colonial America: a mill, tannery, waterworks, and spring house, with more to come. The path runs along the Monocacy Creek and is a lovely way to experience this period in Moravian Bethlehem. It is down the hill from historic Bethlehem and behind the Hotel Bethlehem.”
