Our History

The Harmony Weaver's Cabin is part of the Harmony Museum in Historic Harmony, PA, now a national historic landmark district. In 1804, a group of German separatist Lutherans, under the leadership of Johann Georg Rapp,settled here in Western Pennsylvania as a communal society seeking to live a simpler form of Christianity. They brought their skills in a variety of crafts, including weaving and wine making, along with a strong work ethic. While they resided in "Harmonie" only 10 years, a multitude of their well-built structures remain, including the "Weaver's Cabin".

Volunteers help at the Weaver's Cabin one or more times each month and for Special Events. Every volunteer is invited to offer their handmade goods for sale through the Cabin Market. The modest consignment fee helps to support the Cabin.
