In 1766 a group of German-speaking colonists set out from Bethlehem, PA to establish a settlement at what is now Winston-Salem, NC. They were members of the religious denomination known as the Moravian Brethren, whose principal American settlement was at Bethlehem, PA. The daughter settlement which they established in North Carolina was called Salem. The original settlement has been remarkably well preserved as the Old Salem Historic District National Landmark, which contains more than 30 authentically restored structures. The historic district offers a complete tour and a museum of decorative arts. Among the historic buildings included in the tour are the Winkler Bakery, Bethabara Church, the Single Brothers' House, the Miksch House, the Salem Tavern, and the John Vogler House. The Single Brothers' House, built in 1768, is an impressive example of traditional German brick and half-timber architecture. Built to serve as a dormitory for members of the Moravian community, it is still in the possession of the Moravian Church. The Salem Tavern, built in 1784, was visited by George Washington in 1791. The John Vogler House (1819) was originally the home and shop of a silversmith and clock-maker. The carefully restored building has been furnished with period antiques.
