When the American Revolution came to North Carolina, the Moravians of Wachovia found themselves caught between two opposing sides.

How did the Moravians respond to pressure from both sides, and what did the war mean for their communities? Join Jacob Crews of Historic Bethabara Park as he explores this fascinating and often overlooked chapter of Revolutionary history.
In partnership with the Lewisville Branch Library, the Lewisville Historical Society hosts bimonthly presentations ranging from local history to information about historical sites to antiquities.
