Mapping a Century of Salem was 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.
