All the museums are closed right now even though google maps says they are open. But it is still a nice experience to walk the streets and see the old buildings even though you can’t go into any. I was amazed at how well preserved all these old places are. I really enjoyed walking around here

It reminds me of a much smaller Williamsburg, with restored buildings and costumed people explaining exhibits. We did not buy the ticket to see all of the exhibits. The doctors house was open and had great exhibits. The woman in the apothecary shop was very entertaining. The bakery and a few other shops were open without a ticket.

Travel back in time to the 1700s in Old Salem, a Moravian marketplace and village. Most of the shops have living history interpretors who are dressed the part and tell you about their tools and trade, such as the gunsmith, joiner, baker and tavern owner. The buildings and grounds are incredibly well preserved and restored. We spent most of the day there and didnt see everything. One tip to the visitor is that not all of the shops and tavern are open during the week. Another thing to note is that the sidewalks are brick and are sometimes very uneven, watch your step.

I have Moravian roots and this place is a wonderful reminder of what was and what is still great about the USA.
