This place is fascinating because of its age, late 1600s, showing the way of life back then, and also because it brings alive the Witch Hysteria of 1692 in which Rebecca Nurse was hung. I found the on-property replica of the Meeting House, where witchcraft accusations occured, to be particuarly interesting.

Very interesting site if you enjoy the witch history of Salem, MA. The tour is reasonably priced and the people who give the tours very knowledgable. Worth spending some time there, especially when the weather is nice and if the rest of the tourist scene is too crowed for you, this is a nice change.

This home was worth the drive from Salem. The replica of the Meeting House where the witch trials took place, the original Nurse home, and the family burying grounds were all great to see. Our guide was very friendly and well-informed.

For those who know about the Salem witch trials (or want to know more), this is a must-see. Many people don't realize that present-day Danvers was the real site of much of the "witch hysteria" rather than the town of Salem.

Strong sense of history and connection with the Salem Witch Trials (this area of Danvers was once part of Salem). Amazingly it is surrounded by enough land that one's awareness of the heavily built-up surroundings is greatly minimized. The interpreters were good, too.

I went over there last saturday with my boyfriend and brother during a big car trip around salem. For only 7$ each we got to see Rebecca's Nurse house with a so nice guide for only the 3 of us! We asked all the question we wanted to ask, took pictures... The area is so beautifull. Danvers is way better... More

Rebecca Nurse homestead has History, horses, livestock, playgound areas, walking trails and is just great for kids and adults.

it's a very nice property, great sights, great historical interest. The guides are very knowledgeable and very open to conversation, discussion outside the guided tour. Good value for 6.50.

I'm an descendant of Rebecca Nurse so my wife and I made the trip to see how she lived. Take the guided tour of the house. You'll learn how they cooked, ate, slept, and lived in the 1600's. It's amazing to see their creativity. A real piece of history !
