The History of Alcohol at Bethabara
Created by Historic Bethabara Park
This digital exhibit overviews the history of alcohol at Bethabara. From health to trade, alcohol was a lifeblood for the Moravians living in Bethabara, yet it remains somewhat of a hidden history. This online resource is broken up into several sections detailing the background of the Moravians, alcohol production in Bethabara, enslaved narratives related to alcohol, and stories from the tavern. All of these sections culminate into a comprehensive narrative of how alcohol was a key component to the daily operation of Moravian life, even if not always immediately present.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look through this exhibit!
