GREAT PICTURES!!!!

Don't forget if you end up going to Salem, drive 5 miles further to the town of Danvers. Here you will find the Rebecca Nurse Homestead, it's actually located at 149 Pine Street. Also while there go to the Danvers Museum at the Israel Putnam House while you're at it! Both places are well worth it. In fact, I even thought it was a little more interesting than parts of Salem, except the House of 7 Gables & the Peabody Essex Museum, those are my favorites there & FINZ the seafood restaurant is awesome. BUT if you get the chance take a ride a little further to the town of Danvers and GO here if you get the chance, it's really so fascinating:

Rebecca Nurse Homestead

"Home to Rebecca Nurse who was accused of witchcraft and hung on
July 19, 1692. The house sits on the site which was once known as Salem Village, renowned for the witchcraft trials and hangings. The Rebecca Nurse home was purchased and restored in 1908 by the Rebecca Nurse Memorial Association. In 1926 it was given to the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. today the house features 3 restored rooms filled with period furnishings. Other buildings on the property include the Zerubabel Enedcott house, and a reproduction of the 1672 Salem Village Meeting House where visitors can learn about the 1692 witchcraft outbreak in Salem Village.
Located at 149 Pine Street in Danvers, MA.

Here's information on the Danvers Museum too!
