The Burchfield Homestead was the boyhood home of Charles E. Burchfield. It is located in Salem, Ohio, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Charles Burchfield was noted for his paintings of scenes in and around this home. Art historian Henry Adams, curator of American Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art, called the house "a building of extraordinary significance."{{Cite web |date=March 2, 2022 |title=Grants to cover new coat of paint for Burchfield Homestead |url=https://www.salemnews.net/news/local-news/2022/03/grants-to-cover-new-coat-of-paint-for-burchfield-homestead/ |access-date=2023-06-21 |website=Salem News}}

Charles E. Burchfield

Charles Burchfield grew up in Salem, Ohio, and is considered one of America's premier watercolorists. He moved to upstate New York where his career and reputation as an artist flourished. The neighborhood and home in Salem where he was raised have not significantly changed since Burchfield lived there. The inspiration for many of his works were the scenes visible from the windows of the home.{{cite web|last=Bretz|first=Carol|title=Letter from the Front|url=http://www.caaofcc.org/Juneletter.htm|work=Community Action Agency of Columbiana County|publisher=Community Action Agency of Columbiana County|accessdate=20 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402171343/http://www.caaofcc.org/Juneletter.htm|archive-date=2 April 2012|url-status=dead}}
