             Ephrata: Colonial Map of Pennsylvania

 This is Ephrata.  In the beginning, wild animals would literally come up to the doors, and smoke signals could be seen not far away.  There were woods on either side, called the Brother Woods and Sister Woods, which were the chief support of their lifestyle and industry.

The lifestyle was primarily monastic, but the members soon became known for the excellence of their printing, their flour and cloth mills, and business relations.  They also were known for their music, and the creative decoration of manuscripts.

Ephrata was close to Philadelphia, which was the gateway to the West.  The Cloister was host to many travelers, including people like Benjamin Franklin, General George Washington, and General Lee.
