Old Salem County Courthouse, County courthouse in Salem, New Jersey
The Old Salem County Courthouse features locally manufactured brick construction with multiple wings and maintains active judicial operations within its historical structure.
Built in 1735, the courthouse stands as the second oldest continuously operating judicial building in the United States and witnessed treason trials of Loyalists in 1778.
The courthouse steps became the stage for Colonel Robert Johnson's public tomato eating demonstration in 1820, changing local perceptions about the fruit's safety.
The Salem County Clerk's Office processes passport applications, notary services, and manages election operations from its location at 110 Fifth Street.
Four individuals convicted of treason at this courthouse received pardons from Governor William Livingston under the condition of permanent exile from New Jersey.
