Step inside and go back in time to the early 1800's after the Moravians had settled in Emmaus. This beautiful renovated "time capsule" of the past is a vital link to our heritage and one of the oldest structures in the borough of Emmaus. The 1803 House offers tours by appointment only for families, groups or individuals. Each tour is given by 1803 House Board members.
