Mennonite Historians of Eastern Pennsylvania
The Mennonite Heritage Center tells the story of Mennonite
faith and life in southeastern Pennsylvania. Its architecture,
with lines modeling the simplicity of traditional Pennsylvania
Mennonite meetinghouses, points towards the spiritual center
of Mennonite life. The concept was that "church"
was congregation, not the building in which they "met."
The building also suggests rural images of mill, barn and
house, while exhibits show the movement toward a more urban
society, giving contemporary expression to a deep-rooted heritage.
