Is Old Salem as big as Williamsburg?
In size our Virginia neighbor is larger, however the story that Old Salem tells is very different and unique. Due to the meticulous record keeping of the Moravian settlers in the original town of Salem, their story is preserved in amazing detail. For this reason, visitors will find, although smaller, this living history town is one of the most authentic and comprehensive restorations in America. From the beauty of a Moravian star to the smell of the cookies baking at the 200 year-old Winkler Bakery, every moment in Old Salem provides a unique perspective of life back then.
