I have never been to this park before but it is a hidden gem! We were looking for a nice park to walk the dog and a friend recommended it. We needed some fresh air and exercise in a serene setting and the park had everything from picnic tables, grills and a stocked lake along the pathway and a bit of history provided by an ancient tree with a story to tell about what was hidden inside a large opening in the base of it. I leave you to wonder over this ancient relic and explore the many trailways that this park provides. I loved it and most definitely will be back!

This is a wonderful resource for the Winston-Salem and even the Triad region. A direct link to one…read moreof the first if not the first settlers of the area. Religious migration of MORAVIANS from the North Eastern states. And ultimately the MORAVIAN RELIGION hails from Germany from the 1400's. Their church emerged from the Hussite movement, which predated Martin Luther's Reformation by over 50 years. This park honors a long heritage, that laid the foundation that predates both Winston and Salem, now Winston-Salem. This public park hosts several festivals a year. And it hosts outdoors summer concerts that can be held under a open air shelter. Great for families and peoples or all ages and their pets. Nice and flat for strolling. The grounds houses structures and reconstructed structures from the original settlement back to 1753. Several of the structures house demonstrations for the living skills needed back then: food production, black smithing, etc. A modern welcome center has a model reproduction of the center and is a sort of mini museum. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to educate. There are presentations in the center on the history. Nice bathrooms are there also. And a limited # items are available for purchase and I believe funds go to support the park. The main old structure is a house of worship with an organ that dates from very early on. Consider HISTORIC BETHABARA a quicker trip that to say WILLAMSBURG in VA (granted that is larger and more historically important on a National Level) but nonetheless a way to take a quick step back in time. Also consider OLD SALEM a little to the south in Winston-Salem. Another MORIAVIAN SETTLEMENT (really a follow on, since BETHABARA was meant to be temporary whilst SALEM was planned to be permanent). More along the lines of a mini-WILLAMSBURG. With a reopened TAVERN restaurant. And historical sites and demonstrations to experience. And SALEM is the home to the 1st ever official 4TH OF JULY celebration in the Nation. And back to HISTORIC BETHABARA, take a stroll through the vegetable garden housing genetically same fruits and vegetables that were grown back in the 1700's. Salem also has the same type of gardens.

I attended the Park's annual Christmas event today although it was a chilly day it was a very fun…read moretime. The docents were outside and inside the various village houses demonstrating activities and general living in the period of the time around 1700s authentically dressed in period attire. Such a nice sunny day to bundle up and experience what the villagers had to offer as you stood by the fires to watch how candles were made, forging iron, eating samples of cookies, Johnnie cake and such. The demonstrations were very informative as the docents told how normal day to day chores, cooking, schooling, spinning wool, drying fruit and veggies were prepared for use in the winter when produce couldn't grow. All the buildings were open so you could get out of the cold and go inside to listen to the informative history and see the furnishings and displays of the day. The live music and the decorations really helped put me in the holiday mood. Make a point of checking out life at Bethabara Village and walking around the grounds. Lots to see and paths for walking with you and your doggo if you like. Note that the buildings aren't always open except special events but you can go see the village all year round and sightsee or for walking in the area.
