The bronze statue of Elizabeth Montgomery sits on a granite base, depicting the actress perched on a crescent moon with her signature nose twitch. It stands at the intersection of Essex and Washington Streets, a location chosen for its heavy foot traffic. The artist, Lawrence Tenney Stevens, cast the figure to honor the sitcom Bewitched, which filmed several episodes in Salem during the nineteen seventies. Locals argued about its placement for years, claiming it cheapened the town’s somber history of the witch trials.
