Military Hospital at Lititz Moravian Village Details
The Lititz Moravian settlement housed eighteen buildings along Main Street near Linden Hall and the Springs Hotel. The Brethren's House, built in 1759, served as a military hospital in Revolutionary days and later served various Moravian and educational uses. Nearby shops supported local crafts while Zum Anker Inn stood at the western end with a distinctive two story frame structure and a prominent door step. The Moravian congregation and village were united in purpose though Lititz remained less religiously focused than Bethlehem or Nazareth.
