Before you drive
Every stop on this line is flagged open to the public in the archive — the other5 dossiers on file for Salem didn't make the route: wrong access status, no usable coordinates, or past the sixth pin. "Open" is a filing, not an invitation — hours, tour schedules and ownership change, so confirm each stop on its official listing before you go.
Distances are straight-line between the archive's recorded coordinates — some are city-level approximations that stack several pins on one block, and the real walk runs longer. The hour-a-stop figure is a planning assumption, not a schedule; guided tours run on their own clocks.
And the standing rule: never trespass. No access note on this site overrides a fence, an owner or a posted sign — the file stays filed either way.
