Description: The Rebecca Nurse Homestead, located in Danvers, Massachusetts, is a historic site that offers a poignant glimpse into the life and times of one of the most tragic figures of the Salem Witch Trials. Built in 1678, the homestead was the residence of Rebecca Nurse, a respected elderly woman who was wrongfully accused and executed for witchcraft in 1692. The property includes the original saltbox house, a replica of the 17th-century meetinghouse, and the family cemetery where Nurse is believed to be buried. Today, the homestead serves as a museum, preserving the memory of Rebecca Nurse and educating visitors about the hysteria and injustices of the witch trials, as well as providing insight into colonial life in New England.
