Live the History!
Try our GIft Shop! You can find out-of-the-ordinary gifts that reflect our historic Salem for the special people in your life!
New this year is a coffee mug reminiscent of Goldie Bell Taylor's memorial at Hope Cemetery. And to go along with that, consider the book "Believe" by local author Karen Biery.
Also new this year is a box of 10 quality cards depicting a wintry downtown Salem scene in the early 50's. These cards are beautiful and sure to please anyone who receives them.
Stop in, look around. The gift shop is open every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings 9-noon and during most meetings and activities at the museum.
