Fall lecture
November 3, 2019, will be our annual fall lecture. This year, our topic will be "We have submitted without reluctance: Ephrata Cloister and the Revolutionary War." Our speaker is Mr. Michael Showalter, Museum Educator at the Ephrata Cloister.
The winter of 1777-78 was among the most difficult of times during the Revolutionary War. Washington had lost major battles that fall and had taken up winter quarters at Valley Forge. The sick and wounded from those battles were placed in "winter" hospitals, a half dozen of which were in Lancaster County. At the Ephrata Cloister, the nearly 2 dozen residents assisted army doctors in caring for about 260 men in buildings that no longer survive. Discover the reasons why these hospitals were created, the challenges faced by the doctors, and what little remains to tell the stories of that winter in Lancaster County.
