Winston-Salem is known as the City of Arts and Innovation, mixing old history with new ideas. It grew from two towns that joined together.
You can step back in time at Old Salem, where people dress in old-fashioned clothes and bake bread, and explore the fun Kaleideum children's museum.
Old Salem is a living history town where you can watch bakers, blacksmiths, and candle makers work just like they did long ago.
The city loves art, with colorful galleries, music festivals, and creative studios that make it fun to explore downtown.
