Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Part 2


Founded in 1776 by the Moravians, a Protestant faith that began in what is now known as the Czech Republic. he restored town of Salem is a vision of life in a congregational community in the early American South. 

Costumed tradesmen and women re-create life by producing essential goods like tools, ceramics, furniture and metals using traditional practices of long ago.



Mr. Lineback's business in addition to his office also has a printing press for printing articles of news.




The tavern barn was originally located elsewhere in North Carolina and transported and reconstructed at this site in Old Salem.



This is a photo of the interior of the barn.



The Mickey brothers created the giant tin coffee pot now located at the northern end of the Old Salem historic district. It was created as an advertising gimmick and a shop sign for their 19th century tinsmith business.



Below is a picture of my friend, Sherry, who took this adventure with me to Old Salem.


See ya'll .....
