Special "Upstairs" Tours at the Ephrata Cloister Attraction Details
Special "Upstairs" Tours at the Ephrata Cloister
http://www.ephratacloister.org
What's upstairs? This is probably the most common question from visitors to the Ephrata Cloister. The answer is that the upper floors of the historic buildings, constructed in the mid-1740s, remain largely untouched from the days when they were last inhabited. The upper levels are, in a sense, a time capsule that has remained frozen in the past, holding clues for the restoration and preservation of the National Historic Landmark. For more than 25 years these areas have been available to scholars and students of architecture and preservation, but they have not been accessible to the general public. That will change June 11 and September 10 when special limited tours to these secluded areas will be available to visitors. Reservations for the tours are strongly encouraged, as attendance will be limited. Reservations can be made by calling the Ephrata Cloister.
