The #SalemMA Athenaeum has had the 1629 Endecott Charter for the Massachusetts Bay colony since 1810. For Salem 400+ they commissioned an archival reproduction. Pleased to attend the unveiling & hear from historians Charlie Newhall & Tad Baker about the Charter & its significance

A critical part of our ability to welcome over one million visitors to #SalemMA each October are the Salem Main Streets Information Booths on Washington Street and the Common. Today was the training meeting for over 100 of this year’s booth volunteers.

Come by train, by ferry, or by broom. But leave your car at home.

In Oct #SalemMA welcomes 65k-100k visitors on weekend days, but we only have 2,800 public parking spaces downtown. Spend less time in the car & more time enjoying our city: take public transit.

Each year City departments meet with downtown businesses prior to the start of the busiest visitation season to talk about the weeks ahead, safety protocols, points of contact, the schedule of road closures, & major events. Thanks to #SalemMA Main Streets for convening it and to all of who attended!

At today’s #SalemMA Partnership meeting, Salem Public Schools Superintendent Tommy Welch introduced himself & spoke about his vision for #SalemMA schools in the years ahead. The Partnership’s been an important ally in our work to create schools that lift up every student.
