Salem

⭐"One of the highlights of our visit"
📚"A great, cozy, never crowded library with a lovely garden"
♿Building is not wheelchair accessible

Step inside one of America's oldest libraries, where rare books line the shelves of an elegant 1900s building and a secret garden waits out back. Rotating exhibits and a cup of coffee for pocket change make this a quiet detour worth taking.
