My ancestors emigrated from Switzerland, and came to N.C. via the "Great Wagon Road" from Pennsylvania in the mid 18th century. They were Moravian, so this church is a special place for me, though we've long since migrated to other religions. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a Beautiful, Old Fashioned, Wooden Church. You must go at Christmas time for the Moravian Love Feast.

A Christmas Eve Love Feast at Home Moravian Church is a tradition known to Winston-Salem residents forever. True to Moravian traditions and Christmas decorations, this wonderful (original) structure, makes Old Salem a must for all who want to bring their family as close to the true "Christmas spirit" as possible in this electronic age.

Just beautiful. After seeing how the Moravians lived their Christian life, I would like to visit a Moravian church.

When in Old Salem, make sure that you include this tour. I like the history around this church. We had a tour guide that was great. Do not be shy about asking questions. They are very helpful there.

We always try to visit the old churchs on our trips to historic cities. This one will not disappoint.
If you are lucky enough to be in the area during December enjoy the candle tea and the
worship service open to everyone of any denomination. The moravians are known for their
hospitality and during Christmas you can actually enjoy a...
