State of Michigan Historical Marker Plaza
Recently, SAHS was approved to display a State of Michigan Historical Marker for its South Salem Stone School and its Dickerson Barn. SAHS will be creating a brick-paver plaza be just north of the school to contain the Historical Marker, a bell tower with the school’s old bell, benches, and a flagpole.
Our goal is to raise $15,000.00 to help pay for the Historical Marker Plaza. The Historical Marker Plaza will help preserve a part of the history of Salem Township for future generations.
All donations will help us reach our goal. All who donate to this project prior to Dec. 31, 2023 will be listed on our Web Site, Facebook page, in our membership newsletter and at our January meeting. Additionally, the following donations levels will be acknowledged on a permanent plaque that will be mounted in the plaza:
- Platinum – $2,000 or Greater
- Gold – $1,000 to $1,999.99
- Silver – $500 to 999.99

The State of Michigan Historical Marker Plaza will be just North of the South Salem Stone School with the marker facing Curtis Road. Besides the marker, the plaza will include a brick paved area with benches, a flagpole and a replica of the bell tower that was on the school. See image below.
