Today, a special community of people called the Ephrata Cloister Associates helps to preserve the heritage of this historic site and share its stories. Through their effort, the non-profit 501(c)(3) organization helps to support the continuing legacy of Ephrata.
Members help to:
- return original artifacts to the collections
- provide school programs to educate visiting youth about the history of the early community
- volunteer, sharing their time and talents as guides, and as part of special programs such as the Ephrata Cloister Chorus, the Student Historians, and The Museum Store
- support scholars who continue to probe the records to learn more about the intriguing past
For nearly half a century the Ephrata Cloister Associates have supported the continued preservation of the historic site. With their dedication, Ephrata continues to be a place which offers refreshment for the soul.
