Bethabara Park Boulevard Northwest
“The Birthplace of Winston-Salem: A City of Winston-Salem Park and National Historic Landmark, Bethabara is the site of the first European settlement in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. In 1753, fifteen Moravians set out on a long journey down the Great Wagon Road from Pennsylvania to North Carolina and settled a small village, naming it Bethabara or “house of passage.” By the 1760s, Bethabara had developed into a bustling town of commerce and trade, with a profitable brewery and distillery (the first commercial operation in North Carolina), a pottery shop, and a tavern. After the completion of Salem, the population of Bethabara decreased, but remained an active agricultural community through the early 20th century.
