Walkable from your rental, the Visitor Center is the gateway to Old Salem dating from 1766. Buying a ticket allows you to enter all the beautifully restored little houses where people in period costume recreate the past in an informative and fun way. But it is also great that you can just stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Salem for FREE, where there are shops and restaurants that do not require a ticket. Don't miss the gorgeous, flower filled gardens at the back of Salem College or the serene beauty of God's Acre (the Moravian graveyard). And try and find time for a bite of lunch or dinner at The Tavern, which is fantastic.

This beautiful house was specially designed and built for the Reynolds family. Self guided tours of the house and furniture are awesome and the art is amazing. There is an organ built into the structure of the house so it can be heard throughout, early surround sound! If you get a chance, you should go when it is being played. Apart from the permanent art in the house, there is a separate gallery for exhibitions which are wonderful. The grounds are FREE to visit at any time and are a lovely place to walk your dog with trails through the woodland. Nearby is Reynolda Village with its unique little shops and a variety of restaurants.
