As a former Salem College student, I can tell you that parts of Old Salem/Salem are never closed If you'd just like to walk around on the cobblestones and see the old houses and buildings, you certainly can - folks live in the houses just up by Home Moravian. Campus security might ask you what you're doing if the campus is closed for Christmas, but just avoid creeping around the graveyard after hours and they'll be very nice. Actually, the cemetary is a beautiful and interesting walk, too, if it's daytime.
I usually take everyone to see the lights at tanglewood on Christmas eve,it's not as crowded as you might think then (but now I see you already mentioned tanglewood),so I'll mention Cities restaurant on Stratford,it's interesting and has good food.
As far as Old Salem,from Waughtown St.,just keep going straight,twds Winston-Salem (not the kernersville direction),and you can't miss it,in fact, you'll run right into it
What a nightmare. Drove up from Charlotte to go to the festival of light at Tanglewood in Clemmons. Traffic was backed up onto I-40 and we were probably at least 3 miles from the Tanglewood entrance...took us almost 4hrs in traffic to get to Tanglewood (from the Lewisville-Clemmons Rd exit) and ride thru. NEVER again. We can just go to McAdenville here (Christmas Town USA) and it is just as pretty...maybe not quite as big...but just as good.
ouch...what time did you get there? I think we got there about 8pm (or so)..wasn't too awful bad.only part we had to wait at was the entrance,and only for a short while.
sry you had to wait so long!

Merry Christmas & be BLESSED!
Oh wish I could have told you to go no later than the 1st week of Dec or wait until after Christmas. Happy New Year, though.
