The result was that Nazareth began to grow rapidly.

So many visitors were attracted to the town that the Rose Inn was built in 1752 on an additional tract to the north.

Finally, in 1754, Nazareth Hall was built in hopes that Count Zinzendorf would return from Europe and settle in Nazareth permanently, but he never returned to the U. S. However, in 1759 Nazareth Hall became the central boarding school for sons of Moravian parents.

Later it attained wide fame as a " classical academy.

" This eventually led to the founding, in 1807, of Moravian College and Theological Seminary, now located in Bethlehem.

The Nazareth Hall Tract was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
