museum, place with historical importance, 1790s construction
The Boys' School was constructed in 1794, part of the dedication of the Moravians to education for young people. Nearby, today's Salem Academy and College are evidence that young women were also actively educated here, in one of the earliest institutions for female education in the U.S.
The Boys' School today is used to display a number of artifacts gathered in earlier years by the Wachovia Historical Society to reflect the lives and works of the Salem Moravians.
