About Salem History Matters

Interviews with area historians, authors, historic homeowners, neighbors in our historic districts, curators of local museums, and commercial building owners and renovators offer insight into why preserving, living and working in our historic resources are so integral to our sense of community. We also include information for historic property owners on various programs available to help them preserve these resources for future generations to enjoy.
