Old Salem Museums and Gardens

Here in Old Salem, I’m so enlightened by this simple Christmas celebration, I slough off the layers of holiday anxieties like extra bed blankets. You need only to step on the cobbles to experience the same.

Old Salem Museums and Gardens: 600 South Main Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101; www.oldsalem.org or 1-888-653-7253. Museum admission: $21 adults, $10 ages 6-16, free ages 6 and under. Access to gardens and stores is free.

"Old Salem by Candlelight" is from the December 2008 issue of Southern Living.
