Review:
Winston-Salem, North Carolina is home to the Old Salem Museum and Gardens. The history attraction includes the historic town of Salem, the Gardens at Old Salem, and MESDA, the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts. Originally settled in 1753 by the Moravian community, the town is now a living history museum that educates the public on the history of the Moravians. Merchants within the community include booksellers, souvenir shops, cafes, bakeries, and a chocolatier. A farmer’s market takes place Saturdays during the growing and harvest season. Daily workshops include bread baking, quilt making, hearth cooking meals and children’s scavenger hunts. Sunday visitors get to experience the Moravian Day of Rest and may attend worship services.
