The restored Gemeinhaus, built in 1788. The Gemeinhaus was not only a church but also a meeting place, school, and minister's house for the settlement. It is the only German colonial church with attached minister's living quarters remaining in the United States. It is furnished with period furniture (some original to the building) and a reconstructed Bilitschek organ.

A sign at the remains of this house reads, "Smith House, 1762 - New arrivals from Pennsylvania helped swell Bethabara's 1762 population to 75 Moravians and 15 outside laborers. As the size of the village grew so did the need for new houses and shops. The cellar of the 1762 Smith's House was filled in with dirt in the early 19th century when much of the original town site was made into farmland."
