A nice historical area on Winston-Salem. I have visited a few times and it's important to keep this museum alive to share the story of the Moravian settlers.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Does it cost anything to see

Bonnie Oler | Sep 30, 2018
Mel β€œRising Dawn” Cordeiro | Sep 30, 2018

Yes, some, but not all areas. There is plenty to see if you don't want to pay. Though it is worth it to pay as well.

Joe Sledge | Sep 29, 2021

When we went recently, everything was closed. No tours, shops, museum, gift shop, or bathrooms. They may not be selling because they aren't open. There were posted signs saying they were open in a different way, but we didn't see anything to actually visit.

What time do they close

Frosty Rebel | Sep 30, 2019

What can you see for free at old Salem? How much is the rest of it?

Ellen Rogers | Sep 29, 2020
Mychael C | Sep 29, 2020

The key point is that you can walk around Old Salem for free, visit the shops and bakery for free, and enjoy parts of the museum for free. Tours inside the buildings are what costs. Many of the old buildings are private homes and part of the complex is Salem College which is an operating college. The main church, Home Moravian, usually invites guests for a tour for free as well.
