Thank you for the tip! I have been wanting to visit Old Salem ever since my husband and I relocated to the area...
Very cute little place to walk around and you need to go to either Ollie's bakery or Winkler's bakery for some good Moravian cookies/lbread! If you are hungry for lunch it is also nice to eat at Old Salem Tavern. Reasonable prices for decent food, not as big as a tourist trap like I thought it would be. I liked the Moravian chicken pie.
They normally charge admission? Don't they get something like $10-12 million/year in public funds?

Of last year's fundraising total of $1.9 million raised, approximately $47,500 came from the City of WS plus about $20,000 from the state (for electric vehicles). These were the results of grant submissions.
