YOUNGER BUT WISER You’ve got to hand it to residents of Old Salem, they sensed the cultural and economic value of history long before New Bernians awakened to the possibilities that stem from a golden past. This despite the fact that New Bern was founded 66 years before that venerable Tar Heel community came into being. When it comes to age, Old Salem isn’t in our class, yet accidentally or through clever promotion there has been impressed on the public mind a notion that the town is more ancient t^n it really happens to be. Mind you, we have no desire to belittle Salem’s appeal. Like their attractive tourist folder says, “Charm of the Old World and challenge of the New makes Old Salem a truly unique adventure into American frontier history.’’ It was the central town in the Moravian settle ment of Wachovia. Despite a 200-mile distance from a navigable river or established road, the commuidty became the main trading center for western North Carolina. Salem settlers, reared in the artisan culture of their native Germanic states, were skilled craftsmen. They turned out a variety of wares such as pottery, leather goods, guns, silverware and clocks. Unlike New Bern and most early American towns, Salem was a planned community. The town design is mid-European in style, with buildings constructed flush to the walks and clustered around a central square. The sturdy — though enchanting — architecture em ploys hand-made brick, tile roofs, hooded doorways and arched windows. Culturally, the people of Salem were more ad vanced than many of their contemporaries. Their schools were noted for excellency and wide scope of education. Their religious and secular music is ac claimed today as a tremendous contribution to musical Americana. Yes, the Moravian congregation town had a won derful past, as did New Bern. Where its citizens outsmarted us was in getting a head start on this busi ness of promoting history. HAVING INSURANCE PROBLEMS?
