About Bethania

Founded by Moravian settlers in 1759, Bethania is the oldest municipality in Forsyth County and still retains its quiet colonial charm. The town has preserved its original village layout for over two centuries, surrounding historic homes with open fields, tree-lined paths, and community gardens. As a National Historic Landmark, it offers a distinct sense of history paired with a relaxed, small-town atmosphere.
