There are perennial favorites, and then there are perennial favorites. Christmas in Salem - a tour of historic homes that benefits Historic Salem, Inc. - is of the latter variety. People love this annual weekend, and for good reason.
This is the 29th year residents of Salem's grandest, most historic, and most interesting homes and properties have decked their halls and flung open their doors to public tours. This year the houses are located in Salem's McIntire Historic District.
Here are the highlights of this weekend's event:
Friday, December 5th, 2008

A limited number of $30 tickets will be available that night at these houses. Cash and checks only, please.
