After years of dreaming and hard work, the Salem Museum opened in the historic Williams-Brown House on June 27, 1992. The Museum is celebrating its 30th Anniversary with a new feature exhibit that takes a look back at artifacts and stories now preserved in the Museum’s collections. Admission is free.

Some favorite—but rarely seen—objects appear in this eclectic display, including:
• a trans-oceanic short-wave radio and other examples of early technology
• military equipment from conflicts dating back to the French and Indian War
• paintings of the Museum’s historic home, plus photography and other artwork
• plus, discover why the Museum has such a sizable collection of dirt!

For those who are curious about museum operations, the exhibit also explains some of the behind-the-scenes procedures that go into curating, preserving, storing, and displaying objects, and how information about them is recorded and is able to be searched.

Significantly, the Museum’s three decades of success celebrate its founders, members, volunteers, and donors who have given so generously of their time, heirlooms, and financial resources to make the Salem Museum what it is today.

Cheers for 30 Years includes something for all ages and is fun for Salem natives and out-of-town visitors alike. Touchable objects and activities are included.

The exhibit is underwritten by the William and Margaret Robertson Endowment Fund and was designed by Alex Burke, the Museum’s Assistant Director. The exhibit will be on display through the fall.

"Virginia Beer: From Colonial Days to Craft’s Golden Age"
Speaker: Lee Graves, Author

Beer has been a vibrant part of Virginia’s history since the arrival of settlers at Jamestown in 1607. As plantations and farms expanded westward, beer continued to be a household staple, thanks to brewing largely by women and enslaved people. Commercial breweries played an economic and social role in the country’s growth, though Prohibition took its toll. Now Virginia is at the forefront of beer’s golden age. Join us to learn about this ancient beverage.

The Lecture will take place in the Dairy Barn Lecture Hall on September 27 from 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM.

All participants will be entered into a raffle for two free Oktoberfest tickets.

This lecture is generously funded by The American Frontier Culture Foundation.

Kentucky bred alt-southern rocker DUSTY BO delivers passionate performances with edgy riffs, vocal prowess, and blues-charged guitar solos. With influences such as Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, Dusty possesses the heart of a lifer that shines through in his delivery.
Dusty’s solo debut The Vulture & The Fox is a concept album about a gunslinger who moved west to seek his fortune but who ended up fighting for his life. The music and the concept are loosely based on Dusty’s musical journey from front man for Bolt Action Thrill and Future Villains to thought-provoking singer/songwriter Dusty Bo.
