Forecast is for temps from 73 to 80 oF for the SAHS Arts & Crafts Fair on Saturday, August 15th, from 10 am to 4 pm on the grounds of the Jarvis Stone School Historic District, 7991 N. Territorial Road.
Also, on display will be the American Founding Documents Exhibit. This unique exhibit introduces the five seminal documents that shaped the nation's history.
The "American Founding Documents" exhibit was made possible by an America250MI History Grant awarded to the Salem Area Historical Society. The exhibit aims to educate and inspire the community to engage in the preservation and presentation of local and national history, highlighting the enduring relevance of documents including the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, the Bill of Rights, the Northwest Ordinances and the U.S. Constitution.
