Moravian Mornings: A Historic Bethabara Park Podcast
About Us
With the spread of COVID-19 and the closing of the historic site, we wanted to create a way to reach our current audiences while developing connections to new audiences. Moravian Mornings was created to make the history of the site, as well as Bethania and Old Salem, more accessible to the public during this time where digital learning is more needed than ever. Hosted by park tour guides, episodes are released every Thursday. Available on Apple Podcasts, Podbean, and Spotify.
