The Statue of Elizabeth Montgomery: A Salem Landmark
One of Salem's most iconic landmarks is the Statue of Elizabeth Montgomery, located in Lappin Park at the end of Essex Street Pedestrian Mall. Measuring six feet tall, this bronze statue depicts Samantha Stephens – the character Montgomery played in the 1960s sitcom "Bewitched" – sitting sidesaddle on a broom next to a crescent moon.
Historical Significance
Several episodes of the hit show were filmed in Salem in 1970, a fact that the city has embraced. Next to the statue is a small plaque that reads, "Hair of gold, eyes that twinkle, a nose that neatly twitched, clever, charming and enchanting, Samantha left us all Bewitched."
Visitor Impressions
Recent travelers agree that this statue makes a great photo opportunity for Salem visitors. However, they note that it isn't worth going out of your way for unless you're a die-hard "Bewitched" fan. Access to the statue is free 24/7.
