Make plans to join Preservation North Carolina for our Bethania Ramble on Saturday, November 8. 

Preservation NC’s final Ramble of the year will highlight a very different area of our unique state! You’re likely familiar with the nearby living history museum of Old Salem, but have you visited the smaller settlement of Bethania? Join us in exploration of Bethania, established in 1759 as a self-sufficient farming community which allowed both Moravian and non-Moravian settlers.

This National Historic Landmark (one of only 40 in NC!) is the only known existing Germanic-type Linear Agriculture village in the South. Our Ramble through Bethania’s 500-acre Historic District will reveal exquisite detailed craftsmanship, stacked stone walls and cobblestone paths, and peaceful nature areas. The Town Plan exemplifies both Old World planning and New World adaption. 

Preservation NC Rambles give you the chance to explore the historic homes and buildings of a NC community inside and out — and at your own pace! We’ve partnered with property owners and community leaders to share dozens of beautiful and interesting historic properties in a single day.
