Salem The Podcast

Clue. Sorry. Ping-Ping. Nerf. Rook. Ouija. And Monopoly! These are just a few of the classic games produced by the Parker Brothers right here in Salem during their 100+ year history. The company was founded by Salem native George Swinnerton Parker, who was later joined by his brothers, Charles and Edward. Join Jeffrey and Sarah as they talk about the game company that dominated the market for most of the 20th century, and how one of its best-selling board games saved Salem.

Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about family rivalries, kidney infections, fisher cats, and that meddlesome Ann Putnam Jr (and her parents too).

One of the first to be accused and arrested. The first to be questioned. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they discuss the complex and tragic life of a woman whose less-than-pleasant reputation may have been deserved, but whose fate never was.
