Abstract:
Although the Salem Christmas 1800 program is only in its third year, it is already considered a great success, having attracted more than 3,000 people from the Winston-Salem area last year. The program, sponsored by Old Salem, Inc., features live actors portraying the sights and sounds of a traditional Moravian Christmas as it would have been celebrated 169 years ago. Records show that the Moravians had few distinctive Christmas customs and that holiday celebrations were largely a continuation of the closely-knit community life as it was lived day by day.

Abstract:
Despite the outstanding culinary reputation of Moravian settlements, until recently, the restored Old Salem was devoid of examples of period foods and cooking techniques. With the opening of the restored 1800 Winkler Bakery, visitors to the area can once again enjoy Moravian specialties such as spicy sugar cakes and round, crusty, loaves of bread, hot out of a wood-fired oven. Additionally, the opening of the Salem Tavern Dining Rooms in a restored 1816 home now allows visitors to dine on authentic Moravian foods in the homelike atmosphere of the early 19th century.

Abstract:
Swiss-born Moravian Christian Winkler first came to Salem in 1807 where he and his descendants operated a bakery until the late 1920s. In 1968, Old Salem, Inc. restored the building, and manager Mary Jane Smith and her employees make Moravian breads, cookies, and cakes. They wear outfits appropriate to the time period, and still use the big brick oven originally installed in the bakery. In 1977, Winkler Bakery began packaging and selling its sugar cake mix so that people could make the confection in their own homes.
