Historic Salem, Inc. (HSI) believes that Salem's historic City Seal, established in 1839, should be preserved.

We encourage the City to preserve the Seal and address concerns through education, interpretation, and continued dialogue rather than removal or alteration. Preserving historic civic symbols does not require endorsement of every aspect of the past. Rather, it ensures that future generations can engage with history fully, honestly, and in context.
