Salisbury has a story to tell. Downtown Salisbury, Inc. and the Salisbury Community Appearance Commission want to celebrate the city's rich and diverse history with residents and visitors. They dream of bringing the history to the streets, where anyone can expierience the people, events and stories of Salisbury's past. They also recognize the strong relationship between a community's support of the arts and its economic vitality. A history and art trail seems like a natural fit to share Salisbury's story and to create a cultural amenity in its historic downtown setting. The long-range plan for the History and Art Trail is two-fold. First: A series of markers that incorporates both history and art will be installed on downtown sidewalks and buildings in locations appropriate to the events. The markers are organized info five broad historic eras. Second: Over a period of time, a series of larger public art installations will interpret key historic sites or events. The best place to start the journey is at the Rowan County Visitors Information Center at 204 E. Innes Street, where you may gather more information on the city and the History and Art Trail. However, the Trail is also designed to be picked up at any point along the way. Enjoy the journey, and please return as we continue to forge our Trail. History and Art Trail Guide (PDF) |
