SR082 Main Street

Main Street has become the setting for one of Salem’s most successful civic and commercial events – Olde Salem Days. The event began in 1981 with an estimated 12,000 visitors. By 1985, under the sponsorship of the Jaycees, “Days” drew some 40,000 persons and has continued to be a major draw encompassing a variety of vendors, musicians, crafters, and an antique car show.
