Crime is not a new phenomenon. As the state capital and home of institutions like the state’s highest courts, legislature and penal institutions, Salem has historically been an epicenter for crime-fighting in our region. But, crime-fighting didn’t always look like the labs and technology you see on T.V. today. This exhibit will look at how crime-fighting has changed through our city’s past.

Leon Tolchinsky is ecstatic! He’s landed a terrific teaching job in a small town.
