Historic Salem, NJ is the oldest permanent English-speaking settlement in the Delaware Valley. John Fenwick, an English Quaker, brought the first colonists to this place in 1675, initiating settlement of West Jersey, the first Quaker colony in North America. He named his colony “Salem,” meaning “peace,” and laid out the first streets of “New Salem”: Bridge, Fenwick and Wharf Streets, today known as Market Street and East and West Broadway. Salem City remains the county seat of Salem County, and its streetscapes reflect the history of the people and place. Both Broadway and Market Street are listed as historic districts on the New Jersey State and National Registers of Historic Places.Tickets are $15 prior to the tour and $20 the day of the tour.
