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.
