Bethania Historic District, Moravian agricultural settlement in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States
The Bethania Historic District spans 500 acres with original residential areas, orchards, and farmlands arranged along a network of interconnected roads.
Founded in 1759 by Christian Philip Gottlieb Reuter, Bethania developed as the first permanent settlement within the Moravian Wachovia tract of North Carolina.
The district preserves a linear village layout with four distinct residential sections, reflecting traditional Moravian community planning and agricultural practices.
Main Street contains buildings from the 1760s and features a visitor center providing self-guided walking tour maps of the historical structures.
The cemetery, known as God's Acre, follows the Moravian choir system with graves arranged in four sections divided by rows of cedar trees.
