The Danvers Alarm List Company; the Revolutionary War reenactors that operate the Nurse Homestead continue the tradition of their own mini-marathon on Patriots Day. The members of the company will honor the Danvers men who fell at the Jason Russell House on April 19th 1775.

They start the day at the Training Field on Centre St. in Danvers at 7:45am then follow them (in cars) as they visit six little known Revolutionary locations including three grave sites in Danvers and Peabody where several of the fallen townsmen lie in repose.

Trails and Sails: Digging for History!

Posted on September 13, 2015 by Curator

September 19th and 20th: 10am-3pm 

Come get dirty with us, as you become an archaeologist for the day! The Rebecca Nurse Homestead was at the center of a summer archaeology program, run by the University of Southern Maine and Phillips Andover Academy, teaching students of all ages how to become archaeologists. Now it’s your turn. Thousands of artifacts have given a glimpse into the lives of those who have walked these grounds for the past millennia, many now on display.

11917482_10153149742983785_7250547032529485224_nAt 12:30pm we will have a lecture by archaeologist Dr. Nate Hamilton, who will talk about what has already been discovered over the years.

**New this year will be the use of remote sensing to see what secrets are hidden beneath the ground without even picking up a shovel!
