This statue sits outside the main witch museum in Salem near Salem Common. Roger Conant was the founder of Salem and some other communities in MA.
The statue is bronze and sits up on a bolder brought from a nearby farm. What makes this particular statue interesting to me was that it was mistaken for a witch in a magazine article back in the 1990s. Conant is still mistaken for a witch to this day. Maybe because he is out in front of the witch museum, maybe because his had looks like a witches hat.
Either way this is a fun land mark to go out and take a picture of it.
