About this Event

Carl Schultz discusses the life of Roger Conant, Salem's unlikely town founder.

Despite looming large over the Salem Common, Roger Conant was the leader of the Salem colony for a very brief span of time and (to his chagrin) never got to name anything. Originally arriving at Plymouth, Conant is deeply entrenched as a founder figure of Salem. Join Salem Historical Society Board Member Carl Schultz as he discusses the life of Roger Conant and why there is a statue of a tall-hatted salter outside the Salem Witch Museum.
