Salem today would be almost unrecognizable to its seventeenth-century settlers. The magnificent feats of risk and development that took place over a short 400 years drastically changed the city. With a keen eye, some leg power, and a bit of imagination, remnants of this past can still be found. Come with us on a journey to rediscover old Salem, and learn about the globally impactful events and ideas that created this city. nNaumkeag 5k:nExperience Salem in 5k.
