Before and during the American Revolution, many noted patriots worshiped at the Old Chapel, including George Washington, Martha Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Count Casimir Pulaski, and the Marquis de Lafayette. In 1792, fifty-one chiefs and warriors from the Iroquois Confederacy visited the chapel, among them Sagoyewatha (Red Jacket) and Gyantwakia (Cornplanter). Bishop John Ettwein greeted them, and girls from the Moravian Seminary for Young Ladies read poems in their honor. Afterward, Good Peter, an Oneida warrior, said that they would tell their children and grandchildren what had transpired and hoped that in time they too might have schools such as those found in this happy village, where the grace of the Great Spirit reigned in so peculiar a way. The Moravian chapel was erected in 1751 as the second place of worship in Bethlehem.
