Spectacular colors, harvest time tastes, hands on activities. Autumn in Old Salem is a season for the senses! Rather than driving to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Old Salem has plenty of ways to experience fall in Winston-Salem from beautiful autumn leaves to pumpkin carving to fresh baked apple spice pound cake from Winkler Bakery.

A crisp, cool fall day is the perfect time to enjoy all that Old Salem has to offer.  Snap some photographs when the maple tree next to the Miksch House is in peak color. Drop by the gardens and see what the horticulture department is cultivating. Purchase a few heirloom flower bulbs at the garden shop at T. Bagge Merchant to enjoy next spring.
