	The history of Salisbury begins at Old Sarum, first settled in 300 BC by ironage tribesmen. Located atop a hill overlooking the river Avon, eight miles south of Stonehenge. Salisbury attracts many visitors to its unique cathedral and Tudor buildings dating from medieval times.


	Situated on the southern part of Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge is a temple used during the 17 centuries, between 2800 BC and 1100 AD.

The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. People the world over, visit Salisbury to see this masterpiece of gothic architecture. It boasts the tallest spire in England, reaching a height of 404 ft., and it�s considered one of the most beautiful in the world.

Many states besides North Carolina have cities named after Salisbury.


	�Washington slept here... and called it �a pleasant village��

Andrew Johnson, our seventh president studied law in Salisbury.

A local teacher was one of Napoleon�s ablest generals, presumed to have died after Waterloo. On his deathbed he declared, �I will not die with a lie on my lips; I am Marshall Ney of France.�


	�While I was growing up, the �Observer� had been a morning ritual in the Hanford household, like breakfast ham and grits.�


	�Whether she�s reclaiming a neighborhood or whipping up a batch of persimmon pudding, Mother has never tackled anything without giving it her all. It was a quality she transmitted to those around her.�


	�I played two games,� Dad informed her when he returned from the links, �My first and my last, Mary,� he went on, �if you ever see me hitting a little white ball around and running after it, I want you to make a reservation for at Morganton.� (State mental hosp.)


	�Faith ranks beside family on her list of devotions (mother�s). When I was a girl she told me proudly of Francis Asbury, yet another blood relation, who helped John Wesley spread the Methodist gospel through frontier America.�


	United Daughters of the Confederacy are still holding annual literary contests, awarding scholarships. Maybe your little daughter could grow up to be an Elizabeth. Click on the flag for info.


	Mary Elizabeth Alexander Hanford Dole�s parents could not have provided a more loving environment, in which she thrived. She presided over a number of entities, during her formative years, at various educational institutions, and apparently she always won.


	�To be, rather than to seem.�


		This is North Carolina�s motto. And in the words of a literary favorite son, Tom Wolfe: �The unity that binds us together, what makes this earth a family, and men brothers and the sons of God, is love. That love can take many forms. There is the love of one human being for another, the love which cements our attachments to a place in memory, the love of work and sense of mission which must of necessity replace purely individual ambition if that work is to be truly fulfilling.� This is also the spirit of Salisbury.
