Description

2/21/25 

TO BE RE-SCHEDULED DUE TO INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT AT THE OLD TOWN HALL!

With great disappointment, the City of Salem and History Alive, Inc. have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2/21 “Fashioning for Freedom” show with plans to reschedule for a later date. Unfortunately, due to heating problems at the Old Town Hall, we don’t feel comfortable proceeding. The performance space has not been able to rise above 48 degrees for the past five days, despite attempts from the City and heating techs working to improve the situation. Please check back here and/or follow us on Facebook (historyalivesalem) for a new date. Thank you!
