9 Great Museums in Lancaster, PA
"The Historic Ephrata Cloister features a unique campus of restored buildings that interprets the lives of an 18th-century religious order that founded and maintained the site until the 1930s in the town of Ephrata. Early Pennsylvania was established as a land of religious freedom. Although the Cloister residents—known as Householders—were a fringe religion that no longer exists, their story is significant to that of our Commonwealth during the colonial period and beyond."
