Downtown Salisbury Inc.

Welcome to Downtown Salisbury Print

For over 250 years Downtown Salisbury has been recognized for its beauty and considered as one of the best places in N.C. for shopping, sightseeing and relaxing. Our diversity of shops, restaurants, antique stores, living history and cultural attractions promise an extraordinary experience! Downtown Salisbury is a great place to spend a day, a weekend or a lifetime.

Shopping

Spring back into the past by visiting Downtown Salisbury. You can escape for a day of shopping in stores where the merchandise is something unique and the service is as it was years ago. If you think services such as free gift-wrap are a thing of the past, come to Downtown Salisbury and experience shopping the way it should be. Check out the 75 unique shops including 8 antique shops and two antique malls with over 140 dealers. You will find unique merchandise not found in shopping centers and locals will greet you with a warm friendly welcome.

Dining

Enjoy dining at one of our 15 eating establishments where your dining options range from sitting in the open air on a pretty day to eat a hotdog or deli sandwich to dining indoors in a turn of the century restored church that now offers the finest northern Italian cuisine in the region or a former 1800's Residence that now houses a restaurant that serves a traditional American menu. Downtown Salisbury offers alternatives for every taste and budget.

Historical Sites

Just take a stroll into the past by taking the walking tour that starts at the Visitors Center and winds through the history of Salisbury and the Piedmont Region of North Carolina. See structures from the 1800's as well as interesting artifacts such as the Desk that President Andrew Jackson used when he studied law in Salisbury. See our history up close at the Rowan Museum in the 1854 Courthouse, the circa 1815 Utzman-Chambers House Museum or the 1820 Hall House. The City of Salisbury boasts 10 National Register Historic Districts with over 1,200 properties.
