A previous poster mentioned the town's high standards for historic preservation - the History Channel did a "
Save Our History" program featuring one of Salisbury's antique houses

Also, "Taste of America" from the Travel Channel just did a show a few weeks back where Cheerwine was featured. I think it will be repeated on February 27.
To the original OP: do a search on this forum for "Salisbury". It's not one of the most discussed towns, but it has been brought up enough that the previously posted threads should give you an idea of what the area is like. Just ignore the one poster who tried to gore crow everyone into thinking Salisbury is a major toxic waste site and anyone wanting to move there risked dying of cancer
That's been debunked.
