Old Salem

Last Saturday my friend Kim and I went to Old Salem Museum and Gardens.

The place is magical to me.

I think I was born in the wrong century!

The town was founded by the Moravian's in 1766.

I never get tired of visiting.

I joined the members and can get in free all year. All monies collected goes towards programs and restoration of other building in the village.

Doll

(Interesting fact: The potter would make just the doll head and a child would be practice sewing skills by making the body and clothing.)

I just love the old bricks and uneven streets :)

You can tell she is a married lady because a blue ribbon ties her cap.

My sweet friend Kim

We came away with lots of goodies!
