The mission of Historic Bethlehem Partnership is to bring history to life by educating the public about Bethlehem’s rich heritage, preserving historic sites and collecting, preserving, and exhibiting historical and artistic objects to tell the stories of Bethlehem’s people.

Historic Bethlehem Partnership will establish itself as the premier historical organization in our region by presenting, powerfully and credibly, three centuries of Bethlehem’s unique history. Well maintained buildings and sites, collections that are accessible through exhibits and for research, and educational programs designed to engage diverse members of the community will engender a sense of place that connects one generation to another, showing the zeal and commitment of Bethlehem’s Moravian founders and the strength and foresight of our industrial community in forging our American nation.
