2009 Holiday Season at Old Salem

Holiday Season

A visit to Old Salem Museums & Gardens during the Holiday Season is a step back to a time when the holidays were simpler, less stressful and more focused on faith and family. Traditional wreaths hand from the doors, lampposts and fence posts are wrapped in their winter greenery, the smell of fresh baked treats emanating from the bakery warm even the coldest nose, and the sound of music drifts through the air to draw you into the holiday spirit. Join Old Salem Museums & Gardens as we celebrate not just Christmas but all of the winter holidays and traditions including Thanksgiving, New Year’s, Twelfth night, and much more.
