nated music manuscripts, books,
furniture, and significant early
deeds and documents from the
important William Y. Zcrfass col
lection have immeasurably illumi
nated the history and improved the
interpretation of the site.
Housed in a unique collection
of medieval style buildings, the
Ephrata Cloister was one of
America’s earliest communal
societies where a community of
religious celibates practiced an
austere lifestyle that emphasized
spiritual and mystical over mater
ialistic values. Noted for its origi
nal music and calligraphy, the
Ephrata Cloister was also an
important colonial publishing cen
ter. The 10 original buildings that
survive at Ephrata are reminders
of the religious toleration that
charatcrized early Pennsylvania as
impson
Patty
well as the unusual lifestyle of
those who inhabited the site dur
ing the eighteenth century.
The Ephrata Cloister Associ
ates is a non-profit support group
that raises funds to underwrite
educational programs and return
original objects to the Cloister.
Located at the junction of
routes 322 and 272 in Ephrata, the
Cloister will be open from 9:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the day of the
