Patricia L Christian was at Old Salem on Sunday afternoon. Old Salem is a village that was settle by the Moravians about 1753. The village is the Salem part of the City of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Old Salem is a historical site that is not as well known as Williamsburg, Va, but it seems to be just as relevant to the history of this country. The restoration of Old Salem is phenomenal and is worth a visit to anyone who has an interest in the history of this country.
Walk the cobblestone streets or take a horse-drawn carriage ride through this North Carolina historic district founded in 1766. Period-costumed artisans such as tinsmiths, cobblers and carpenters demonstrate their trades in several restored buildings while greeting visitors. You’ll also discover four museums and one of the nation’s oldest operating bakeries, which still makes world-famous Moravian cookies.

Visitors to Old Salem Museums & Gardens experience authentic early-American history brought to life through storytelling, original buildings, hands-on activities, music and events as well as world class artifacts. The Historic Town of Salem and the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA), along with award-winning heirloom gardens-engage visitors in a memorable, historical experience about those who lived and worked in the early South.
