Salem Pioneer Cemetery<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Salem\u2019s Pioneer Cemetery, founded in 1854, is one of the oldest burial grounds in Oregon. Its markers represent missionaries and politicians dating back to Oregon\u2019s territorial period and early statehood. And while these men played star roles in the development of both Oregon and its capital city, there are many more stories of common working folks\u2014merchants, farmers, and teachers\u2014all of whom contributed to Salem\u2019s early character.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
