Abstract:
Bethabara’s community center isn’t a historic building, but a garden that has played a role in the community’s history for over 250 years. Started by the Moravians who founded Bethabara, a community in Winston-Salem, this garden is cited as the only known, well-documented Colonial garden in the United States. Its continuing significance is evident in recent efforts by groups such as archaeologists and Garden Club Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County to re-establish its original design and restore it to its intended purpose.

The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) includes artifacts from seven different states—North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia. The decorative arts refer to objects created for domestic use such as furniture, pottery, and candles. The museum has objects dating from the establishment of Jamestown until the beginning of the Civil War. These pieces of art tell stories of a way of life very different from our own.
