Roger Conant Statue (Salem, Massachusetts)

USA / Massachusetts / Salem / Salem, Massachusetts
 statue, interesting place

Because of Salem's reputation as the 'Witch City", and because Henry Kitson's bronze statue (dedicated June 17, 1913) of the city's founding father stands in front of the Salem's Witch Museum, many visitors assume that because of his cloak and hat and generally impressive appearance, Roger Conant is often mistaken for a participant in the Salem witch trials. In 1626, he founded Salem and was its first governor. www.salemweb.com/tales/conant.shtml
