     PROGRAM
          Moravians - Surry’s Earliest Settlers
          Such a Scene of Industry…in So Small a Place
          Moravian Life and Arts  1750-1830


          Presented by:  Johanna M. Brown,  Curator of Moravian Decorative Arts
                                  Old Salem Museums & Gardens

         Eighteenth and nineteenth century visitors to the Moravian town of Salem, North Carolina, often remarked on the physical and cultural distinctiveness of this isolated backcountry community.

          The Moravian craftsmen fascinated outsiders who were allowed to visit and shop –but not live or work—within the carefully controlled religious community.

           Moravian craftsmen produced furniture, pottery, silver, textiles, paintings, and countless other decorative objects with a distinct “neat and simple elegance.”

   Reservations are required. 
Send the following, by November 3 to:
     Surry County Historical Society 
     PO Box 469
     Mt. Airy, NC  27030
