Salem Tavern, Historic tavern in Old Salem Historic District, North Carolina, US.
The two-and-a-half-story brick tavern features public rooms on the ground floor and sleeping quarters above, with a kitchen located in the rear section.
The Salem Tavern, constructed in 1784 after a fire destroyed its predecessor, served as lodging for George Washington during his Southern Tour in 1791.
The tavern operated under Moravian Church management, maintaining separate spaces for travelers and local residents while serving as a commercial center.
The Salem Tavern remains open to visitors as part of Old Salem Museums & Gardens, offering guided tours through its preserved colonial-era rooms.
The building stands as the first entirely brick structure in Old Salem, designed by mason Johann Gottlob Krause with vaulted ceilings and stone kitchen floors.
