    Salem Witch Trials Memorial

    The Salem Witch Trials Memorial was built adjacent the Charter Street Cemetery and dedicated in the year of Salem's tercentenary (300th anniversary), on Aug. 5, 1992. The design incorporates multiple elements of stone and plantings to symbolically represent the social indifference to the persecutions that were taking place in Salem in 1692. The memorial is surrounded on three sides by a hand-crafted granite dry wall. Inscribed in the stone threshold entering the memorial are the victims' protests of innocence. Six locust trees represent the stark injustice of the trials. Cantilevered stone benches bear the names and execution dates of each of the twenty victims. The Salem Witch Trials Tercentenary Committee was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for the memorial project. The design has received national critical acclaim. Dedicated on Aug. 5, 1992, with Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel as keynote speaker.
