Danvers, Massachusetts , and the birthplace of Major GeneralIsrael Putnam . The house is now operated by the Danvers Historical Society and open by appointment.The house was built on 100 acres of farmland owned by Thomas Putnam, and occupied by the Putnam family for over three centuries. It never said when Joesph Putnam dies but all we do know is that he was an accuser of Tomas Putnam's wife Ann. Its resident in 1692, Joseph Putnam, spoke out against the hysteria of the
Salem Witch Trials . His son, Major GeneralIsrael Putnam , commander of the colonial troops at theBattle of Bunker Hill , was born in the house. In 1991 the Putnam Family descendants gave its stewardship to the Danvers Historical Society.See also
