Salem State University presents Mapping a Century of Salem, 1926 – 2026, from June 18 to mid-September at Old Town Hall in downtown Salem.

Developed as part of Salem’s quadricentennial celebration, this free, public history exhibit examines the transformation of Salem over the past 100 years, combining oral histories, maps, historical photographs and more to explore how Salem evolved socially, economically and physically between the city’s 1926 tercentenary celebration and today. Curated by Salem State University’s College of Arts and Sciences and Frederick E. Berry Library and Archives, the exhibit seeks to interpret the city’s history while sharing personal stories of those who live in, work in, or have had an impact on Salem over the past century.

Connect with someplace familiar, learn about someone new, and share your Salem stories.

There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 18 at 4 PM. Tickets are not required for the opening, but we are asking visitors to register through this eventbrite:

Starting June 19, the exhibit will be open Thursdays from 12 to 7 PM and Fridays through Mondays from 10 AM to 4 PM.
