Backstory and Context
Text-to-speech Audio
The 1792 Johannes Mueller House is an excellent example of 18th century German architecture. Johannes Mueller (1760-1834), the town dyer of cloth, lived here with his wife, Anna Marie (1760-1831) four children, and an apprentice. At the time Mueller and his family lived in Lititz, the Moravian Church oversaw and set the rules in the community. Johannes Mueller married Anna Maria in 1787, and they were the very first couple united in holy matrimony in the Lititz Moravian Church's new sanctuary.
In addition to his daily trade as a dyer, Mueller supplemented his income by growing nuts, several crops, and raising farm animals.
Owned and operated by the Lititz Historical Foundation, guided tours are available of the home.
