SALEM’S DOWNTOWN HISTORIC MARKER PROGRAM
 Salem’s Downtown Historic Marker Program is supported by a Preserve America grant administered by the National Park Service. Preserve America is an initiative that encourages and supports historic preservation and heritage tourism projects that result in cultural, economic and educational benefits for the community.
Salem’s program involves developing a historic marker template and logo, encouraging historic building owners to apply for and display markers, updating the downtown historic walking tour brochure and creating a historic walking tour website. The City is currently working with key stakeholders to market the historic walking tour to community members and out-of-town visitors.

In February 2009, the Salem Historic Landmark Commission approved a historic marker logo and template design. The logo and template design approved by the Salem Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) will be placed on a 8”x 11” cast bronze historic marker.
