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.

Abstract:
Old Salem, settled in 1772 by Moravians, has had its history well preserved due to members compiling detailed daily life accounts. Because of this, the task taken on in the 1950s to preserve Salem and turn it into to Old Salem was possible. Currently, Old Salem reflects historical integrity in its 107 historic buildings and individuals who realistically reenact daily life, evident in the accompanied photographs. An example of a conscientiously preserved historic building is the tavern George Washington lodged in during his visit in 1791, looking much as it did during his visit.
