History:
Salem Historical Museum
The Salem historical museum consists of three buildings located in Salem’s center. The Old Meetinghouse, Alice L. Hall Memorial Library, and Schoolhouse #5.The Old Meetinghouse is next to Salem’s burial ground. The old Meetinghouse has most of the collection of artifacts. The interior of the building went under construction changes as the years went on and as the community continued to grow. Originally it entered the service as a town hall, when Salem was a charter in 1750. The oldest New Hampshire town hall, the building house the local court served as classrooms for Salem children and has been a meeting place for many different organizations. It has been home to the Salem museum and the Salem historical society since 1981.
Next door to the museum is the Alice L. Hall Memorial Library. It was built in 1861 as a schoolhouse; it served as Salem’s first public library building from 1895 to 1961. In 1988 the town of Salem dedicated the building in memory of Alice Hall, the towns long- time librarian. Today the library has been restored to its old appearance and holds many of historical books.
Schoolhouse # 5 is located around the corner of School Street. This one room schoolhouse was built in 1873 on the south side of Bluff Street and used for classes there until 1944 until it was moved two miles to Salem’s center. In 1961 the building was no longer needed for the Salem School District. Bill Brown bought this schoolhouse to save it from getting destroyed. Later he donated the building to the town of Salem, the school needed to be restored to its original condition. The Salem contractors association donated their time to make major repairs. Salem school children raised money for the interior finishing. Today schoolhouse # 5 is part of the historical museum with furnishings and artifacts.
