Tour the Biblical Tabernacle

A Biblical Tabernacle reproduction was created in the late 1940s, as the “Moses Tabernacle in the Wilderness,” by a Baptist minister in St. Petersburg, Florida. Mennonites later purchased the replica and made it available for tours at the Visitors Center.

For over 60 years this exhibit has offered a unique experience, and it’s been invaluable for students of the Bible and cultural studies. Thousands of people visit the Biblical Tabernacle Experience each year.
