FREE Tree tour of Lower Broad Street, the Pickering Property and Broad Street Cemetery

Come take a walk with Chris Burke on Lower Broad Street. We will talk about three tree lovers who gave us this beautiful legacy – John Robinson, Carroll Sargent, and Harlan Kelsey. We will identify and discuss the old majestic trees that make the area so special; the hophornbeam, yellowwood, Carolina silverbell, tulip tree, English white oaks, chestnut oak, cherry dogwood, silver maple, and red and Austrian pines.  Together, they create an old-time landscape that is unrivaled by any neighborhood in Salem.

This is a FREE EVENT, registration is not required, Meet at the lawn of the Pickering House by 1:00pm to view the trees there, and then we will cross the street to the Broad Street Cemetery.
