Abstract:

In 1771, Johann Matthew Miksch opened a tobacco shop in the Moravian village of Salem along with a log-cabin tobacco manufactory. Both buildings have now been restored and authentically furnished as part of the Old Salem Restoration project. To date, eight village buildings have been restored to their original appearance.
