"When you stated that we would have lunch in the museum, I wondered how that would be. It worked beautifully! The atmosphere put us back into 18th century Bethlehem. What a wondeful tour and place!" - Red Hat Lady



History is made! The clay tiles are in place on the Nain - Schober House. Stop downtown to see the red!

Steps must still be taken to restore the interior of the house. To contribute to this campaign: Please mail your check (payable to Historic Bethlehem Partnership and indicate "Nain-Schober") to 505 Main Street, Bethlehem, PA 18018 or call (610) 882-0450.
