Historical Old Salem, Inc.

In 1976, a group of interested Catonsville people organized Historical Old Salem, Inc., the purpose of which was to restore and preserve Old Salem Church and site.  Through a 99-year lease the organization accepted the responsibility for the care and custody of the building and grounds.

Fortified with a substantial grant for the Maryland Historical Trust, annual membership contributions, memorials and subsequent grants, the restoration got under way.  The work is continuing as funds become available.

Because the up-keep and restoration of Old Salem and the cemetery is on-going, the Old Salem Trust Fund was established in 1989.  "to provide and assure a financial means to continue the restoration and preservation of the Old Salem Church and adjoining cemetery grounds into the future."
