If you admire the art and life of artist Charles Burchfield, you will definitely want to pay a visit to Salem, Ohio's newest museum, the Burchfield Homestead Museum at 867 E. 4th St.

The museum was the home of Burchfield from age five in 1898 to 28 in 1921. It was in this house he began creating art as a pre-schooler and developed it into adulthood. The sites of many of his paintings are views from the windows of the house.

Besides displaying 87 copies of his paintings, the museum features 40 family photos - some of them hilarious - depicting the young Burchfield at parties with his friends. Taken together, they document small town social life at the beginning of the 20th Century.
