Excerpt from Souvenir Book of the Ephrata Cloister: Complete History From Its Settlement in 1728 to the Present Time; Included Is the Organization of Ephrata Borough and Other Information of Ephrata Connected With the Cloister

Many communities of different types were organized, some less than fifty years ago; others have ceased to exist and some seem to be passing out of existence. In the grand old Keystone there seems to have been a laboratory where many social, religious, civic and industrial experiments were tried.

Schools, lyceums, historical societies, persons of culture and refinement find in local history an inspiration not easily found in national or general histories.

The architecture of ye olden buildings, the lost industries, the Wholesome amusements, the wit and humor, the motives of these, some of our distinguished progenitors, are surely worth While studying.

History in an ordinary sense is a narrative of human events, each event considered by itself becomes particular, but considered as a whole in mutual relations, it becomes general.
