Join the Historic Ephrata Cloister for our popular “behind-the-scenes” upstairs tours of the 1743 Saron Dormitory building (Sisters’ House). Visitors will have a rare opportunity to discover the un-restored upper floors which maintain much of the structure’s original 18th century design and materials. Tours will run every hour starting at 10:00 a.m. with the last tour departing at 2:00 p.m. Tours will be on a first come first served basis and are suitable for visitors ages 12 years and older. Cost is $15.00/person. Please note that group sizes will be limited, and access to the second floor requires a narrow, steep staircase. All participants will be required to sign a waiver before the start of the tour.
