Thank you for your interest and support of Old Salem Museums & Gardens. Old Salem is a truly unique place—a community built on the foundation of the Moravian religion, later transformed into one of the most successful economic centers in early America. Old Salem is not simply about Moravian history; it is a reflection on an evolving diverse community in the South, struggling with common principles such as freedom, faith, tradition, government, slavery and war. These principles remain relevant for today’s citizens of the United States and the world.

Proceeds from your purchase of our products directly benefit the preservation, restoration and educational programming at Old Salem Museums and Gardens.
