Ephrata Cloister

One of the area's myriad breakaway religious sects established this community in 1732; despite celibacy vows and infighting, it lasted until 1934. Now it has an almost ghost-town feel. You can walk around alone, but ideally join a tour (included with admission) to see inside all of the buildings.
