Hope
Several old structures remain, their stone walls contrasting with more recent buildings. The Moravians' position as conscientious objectors during the Revolution did not endear them to Patriot forces, but they won respect by caring for sick and wounded soldiers. The colony—diminished by a smallpox epidemic—returned to Pennsylvania in 1808.
