Salem, Massachusetts 1626 ❦ 

Divitis Indiae usque ad ultimum sinum

 

After some more digging through the old @historicsaleminc archives, we found a map of old Salem that was published by W. H. Butler in 1930! We also found a personal letter addressed to him! #salem #salemmassachusetts #history #salemhistory #map #1930
Digging through some of @historicsaleminc ‘s old filing cabinets, we found these two calendars dated 1929 and 1969! Each one contains a list of the directors at the Naumkeag Trust Company at the time! #historicsalem #salem #salemmassachusetts #naumkeag #history #calendar
How cool is this?! We don’t know exactly what it was for, but it appears to be hand-stitched with many historic landmarks in Salem! #salem #salemmassachusetts #salemhistory #history
We are in attendance as the Peabody Essex Museum presents its latest updates on the Phillips Library Renovation.
I actually didn’t notice this plaque on the front of Rockafellas until fairly recently, a little of Salem’s Revolutionary history. #didyouknow that Salem’s 400th anniversary will fall on the same year as the 250th anniversary of America’s independence ? So cool ! #salem #salemma #salemmassachusetts #salemhistory #revolutionarywar #revolution250 #salem400 #2026
