The Bethlehem Digital History Project is a treasure of information about our colonial past. Personal papers stored online include correspondence with little known figures like George Washington. But my favorite section contains old maps and surveys like the 1758 Bethlehem map you see here. No steel company. No casino. Lots of woodland. No wonder the Moravians loved the place.
