Bethlehem Historic District Association
Neighbors preserving history.
Established in 1989, the BHDA is a not-for-profit neighborhood organization that recognizes our unique urban residential setting. Originally established by the Moravians, it is a community of fellowship and history; and in 2024 recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We are a supportive community that seeks neighbor involvement in all sorts of activities from historical research to fun social events to meaningful community outreach. Every three years we have a Holiday House Tour and invite the community at large to visit the inside of our historic homes.
