SUMMARY:Love\, Your Salem opens at Old Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Old Town Hall in Salem will be transformed into a living\, breathing journey through four centuries of local history — and everyone is invited. History Alive\, Inc. is planning a free public exhibit featuring 40 remarkable Salemites who shaped the city between 1626 and 1936. The collection highlights a diverse range of people from across Salem’s long and layered past\, brought to life through displays\, audio-visual presentations\, and hands-on experiences.  \nOne of the most distinctive features of the exhibit is that it will be built in public. Costume and prop makers will work right in the space\, constructing parade materials in real time. Community members and volunteers are welcome to roll up their sleeves and help build elements that will eventually appear in Salem’s August 1st Heritage Days Parade — making the creative process itself part of the experience. \nThat parade will also feature History Alive company members drawn from communities across the North Shore\, including Beverly\, Danvers\, Haverhill\, Peabody\, Rowley\, Lynn\, Salem\, Swampscott\, and Marblehead\, alongside a volunteer cast of Salem residents. The procession is designed to reflect Salem’s full community\, with participants of diverse backgrounds\, abilities\, and ages taking part. \nThe exhibit is part of Salem’s broader 400+ anniversary celebrations — a milestone marking more than four centuries since the city’s founding. History Alive’s contribution is a reminder that Salem’s story isn’t just about one moment in time\, but about the many people\, across many generations\, who made it what it is today. You’ll find the dove making crafting at other celebratory events throughout the summer in culmination with “Love\, Your Salem” on August 1st—and maybe even a time warp ball if the fancy strikes us! \nHistory Alive\, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing local history to life through performance\, education\, and community engagement.  \nOld Town Hall hours are:\nThursdays 4-7 pm\nFridays 12-4 pm\nSaturdays 12-4 pm\nSundays 12-4pm

SUMMARY:Found Treasures from City Hall Exhibition Opens
DESCRIPTION:Over the years\, civic employees have uncovered remarkable pieces of our community’s past in the most unexpected places. Tucked behind filing cabinets\, nestled in dusty corners\, and forgotten in the recesses of municipal buildings\, these artifacts tell stories that official records sometimes miss. \nAmong our discoveries: a check dating back to 1864\, its ink faded but still legible\, offering a glimpse into Civil War-era commerce. A pair of iron manacles\, heavy with the weight of difficult history\, remind us of chapters we must remember and reckon with. Local artwork has resurfaced\, along with yellowed newspapers\, maps and photographs that captured the headlines and concerns of generations past. \nEach item represents a moment frozen in time—a transaction\, a creation\, a record of daily life in our community. Together\, they form an accidental archive\, preserved not through careful curation but through the simple passage of time and the watchful eyes of employees who recognized significance in what others might have discarded. \nThese aren’t just artifacts; they’re connections to the people who came before us\, doing the work of community in their own time\, leaving traces of their presence for us to discover and preserve. \nHours for the exhibit are as follows: \nFriday\, May 1\, 12 pm-4 pm\nSaturday\, May 2\, 12 pm-6 pm\nSunday\, May 3\, 12 pm-6 pm\nThursday\, May 7\, 3 pm-7 pm\nFriday\, May 8\, 12 pm-4 pm\nSaturday\, May 9\, 12 pm-4 pm\nSunday\, May 10\, 12 pm-4 pm
