The Moravian Historical Society invites the community to attend the annual gala dinner and auction.

Nazareth, PA—The Moravian Historical Society announces its 17th Annual Share the Heritage Gala will take place on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at the Northampton Country Club. The annual Gala is the Museum’s primary fundraiser, raising vital funds for all operations, including exhibitions, programs for children and adults, and the preservation of the historic site. The Gala will feature cocktails, dinner, live music throughout the evening, and both a silent and live auction.

This year, the Moravian Historical Society is pleased to honor Christian Frederick Martin IV with the annual Heritage Award. The Martin Guitar Charitable Foundation, started by Chris Martin in 1996, has supported the Moravian Historical Society and many other nonprofit groups in our region. The C.F. Martin & Co. and the Martin family have supported the Moravian Historical Society as early as 1869 when C.F. Martin Jr. was a member of the Society. Our museum collection includes a circa 1845 Martin guitar made by C.F. Martin Sr.

Sponsorships are available for the 17th Annual Share the Heritage Gala. For more information on sponsorship opportunities, please contact us directly at 610-759-5070 or visit our website. Tickets for the event will be available in February. For more information, visit our website: www.moravianhistory.org/share-the-heritage.

Founded in 1857, the Moravian Historical Society (MHS) preserves, interprets, and celebrates the rich culture of the Moravians. MHS maintains the 1740–1743 Whitefield House and the 1740 Gray Cottage, the oldest surviving Moravian structure in North America. Recognized widely for its significant collection, the museum offers permanent and changing exhibitions, educational programs, guided tours, and public activities. Highlights of the collection include a significant collection of early musical instruments, many of which represent the first of their kind made in America, including the 1759 Antes violin, the c. 1745–1765 upright piano, and the 1761 Tannenberg clavichord.

The Moravian Historical Society’s Museum is open daily from 1:00 to 4:00 pm and is located at 214 East Center Street, Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
