Special Exhibit: Finding Salem’s Chinatown(s)

Individuals of Chinese heritage have been a part of Salem’s community since at least 1860. Despite this long presence, it has been harder to trace their experiences in the written historical record and built landscape. Several collaborative research projects over the last five years have given us a better understanding of Salem’s historical Chinatown and Chinese-American Community.

Included with regular museum admission.
