Gemeinhaus-Lewis David de Schweinitz Residence, also known as the Moravian Museum, is a house in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Built to house the married couples of the Moravian community as well as the community's place of worship, the "Saal", it is the oldest surviving building in Bethlehem, the largest surviving log house in the USA and also significant for its association with amateur biologist Lewis David de Schweinitz.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/75001658.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Gemeinhaus-Lewis David De Schweinitz Residence / Moravian Museum] |32 KB|date=March, 1975 |author=James Sheire |publisher=National Park Service]
