About Lower Salem

Lower Salem is a village in Washington County, Ohio, United States. The 2020 census counted 75 residents. Lower Salem had its start when a corduroy road was built through it to Marietta. The town site was not laid out until 1850, and was settled predominantly by German immigrants. That mix gives Lower Salem a clear local shape within Ohio, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present. Lower Salem is home to a hotel.
