Salem Witch Trials - Places
Contemporary view of the Rebecca Nurse House (c. 2004). Rebecca lived with her husband, Francis Nurse, at the heart of a 300-acre farm. The Nurses could not have purchased such a large property had not their seven married children agreed to help pay off the mortgage. Rebecca was seventy-one years old and the mother of eight children when she was hanged on July 19, 1692.
The Rebecca Nurse House, located at 149 Pine Street, in Danvers, Massachusetts, is now a historic house museum open to the public and owned by the Danvers Alarm List, a colonial-era re-enactment group dedicated to the care and preservation of the Nurse homestead and its surrounding farmland.
