Virtual: Ephrata Cloister Q & A

Date(s): 02/10/2022
Time: 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Why are the doors so small? How did they know it was time for the midnight worship service? Didn’t they know that by practicing celibacy the place would not last? These are just some of the questions our visitors ask, and you probably have more of your own. Here is the chance as this month’s Virtual Ephrata Academy answers your questions about this unique early American community. Join Curator, Kerry Mohn, Guide Supervisor, Nick Siegert, and Museum Educator, Michael Showalter to explore your interests in Ephrata’s history.
