Ephrata Cloister Visit

Cloister-Ephrata

The Saal, the Meetinghouse

After a recent trip to photograph 120,000 Snow Geese during a migration stop at Middle Creek in Pennsylvania, I took a quick tour of the historic religious community, the Ephrata Cloister.  Started in 1732 by German Settlers, it is one of the earliest religious communities in America.  The buildings have been beautifully restored and maintained and it is an enjoyable visit if you find yourself in the area.  The museum is also worth perusing as the textiles and artifacts are a joy to see.  I snapped a few photos to share here on OHT.
