  Are you a Knauss? Related to a Knauss? Interested in the Knauss family? Did you know that we have our very own Knauss Homestead? It was built in 1777 by Henry Knauss, son of Sebastian Henrich Knauss in Emmaus PA on land donated by Sebastian Heinrich Knauss. 

    Sebastian Knauss is generally recognized as the founder of Emmaus. If you are a Knauss, whether spelled; Knaus, Knause, Knouss, Knous, Knouse, Kanous, Kanouse, Kenouse, Canouse, Naus, Nauss, Nous or Nouse, chances are that you are directly related to Sebastian or his Grandfather Lukas Knauss descending from Düdelsheim, Germany. 

    Recently the Borough of Emmaus declared the Knauss Homestead a Historical Site and has pledged financial support to help in the restoration of our cherished ancestral home. Check out some of the ways in which you may also help in this effort.
