Old Salem (in Winston-Salem) has been named as one of the top 10 "places to dig up old dirt on farming" and to "see where our food comes from" by USA Today's Travel section.
The selections were compiled by Judith Sheridan, secretary/treasurer of the Association for Living History, Farm and Agricultural Museums (alhfam.org), a volunteer organization that promotes agricultural tourism and living history.
Regarding Old Salem, Sheridan says that "folks often come here for the four museums — a toy museum, decorative arts museum, children's museum and the Town of Salem, a historic Moravian community. But this place has always been famous for its gardens." USA Today says that "You'll see fruit and vegetables growing in the many different gardens as well as wheat, flax and cotton. 888-653-7253; oldsalem.org ."
