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
