Abstract:
David Tannenburg, born in Germany in 1728, is considered the foremost North American organ builder of the 18th century. The organ he built for the Moravians, called the Great Organ, was installed in the home Moravian Church in Salem in 1800. This organ, silent for the past 100 years, has been restored. Of the 644 original pipes, 628 were located and used in the restoration.

Abstract:
Published for the first time in 1828 by John Christian Blum, BLUM'S ALMANAC is the oldest continually published magazine in the state. Blum was born in Bethabara in 1784 and later moved to Salem with his family. He was an agent for the Cape Fear Bank in Salem in 1827, when a fire destroyed the bank's treasury. Forced to seek new employment, Blum turned to printing. The content and format have remained the same through the years, including items like sun risings and settings, household and health hints, farming help, and proverbs on moral precepts. Circulation today is 500,000 copies, with 20,000 subscriptions.
