NSCAC National President’s Project

Educating About Ephrata

The National Project for 2021-2022 supports the Ephrata (PA) Cloister. The Cloister was founded in 1732 and was known for their religous beliefs, as well as their decorative writing. Project funds will cover the printing costs of educational booklets (Memory Books), which will be given to school children who visit the historical site on their Big School Days, called Community Days. The booklets will reinforce what was learned at various stations around the Cloister through the course of the day. They will feature aspects such as printing, papermaking, and quill pen writing.

Through this project, the National Society Children of the American Colonists will be teaching other children about the Colonial era, promoting increased awareness of American history.
