One of the nation's earliest private libraries. An architectural/historic landmark.

This is an interesting spot that I haven't fully explored yet. They are a "member's library" which means that they have a collection of old books that reflect what the people of Salem would have been reading in the olden days. I think. They put on events and host writing courses as well. One of my favorite events was an evening of Storytelling.

Check the calendar (salemathenaeum.net) for Summer Salons, music, and lectures. Most are open to the public for a low fee. Salem is so fun to visit and the Athenaeum is a special place. Gorgeous garden as well.
