Highlights of Guided House Tour

About the 1792 Johannes Mueller House

First built in 1740s and expanded in 1792, the Johannes Mueller House retains its original architectural character and has been carefully restored with hundreds of traditional items from the late 1700s and early 1800s. The items are all family heirlooms that have been lovingly passed down through generations of Lititz families and donated to the foundation so that others may explore the diverse historical, regional and social traditions of the early Moravian settlers.

Plan Ahead: Book Your Guided House Tour

Same-day guided tours are available, but it is best to book them 24 hours in advance. During busy times – like the week of Fourth of July and the Craft Show – guided tours are limited and get booked quickly. Reserve your spot in an upcoming house tour through our online partner Viator.

Lovely free museum featuring the history of the charming town of Lititz. Optional 45 minute guided tour of 18th century house next door by a costumed docent for a small fee. Very interesting! Beautiful garden between the two houses with working koi pond, open to public. So relaxing - a quiet oasis. Neat gift shop in the main museum filled with items with a local or historical theme. Don't miss it!

A treasure trove of information and original items! Do yourself a favor and take the tour. Cross your fingers and hope you get Bob!! He's fantastic!

My docent, Corey was a courteous, engaging, articulate, and profoundly knowledgeable tour guide who through his detailed description of not only the residents who lived and worked specifically at the Johannes Mueller House but also of how the Moravian culture has been able to sustain itself for almost three hundred years, made me appreciate the historic relevance of the Lititz community.

Excellent tour. It was very informative. We learned a lot about the history of Lititz and the house.
