Old Salem Museums and Gardens

Old Salem Museums and Gardens is a historic site and museum. Yet, the property does not only tell the story of people through their exhibits. But also fights food insecurity in America at the same time. Such a unique approach for a historical tourist destination!

Amazingly, you can explore various museums here too. You’ll have the Historic Town of Salem, Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA), and Gardens at Old Salem. Which are all dedicated to providing an educational and memorable experience for visitors. In fact, the MESDA is a treasure trove of early American South culture. It features furniture and ceramics that were once used in everyday life. As well as items from architecture to needlework. Also, in 2016, the National Park Service approved an expansion of the NHL’s district that included changes to its boundaries and additional time periods during which significance can be attributed.
