Putnam House (circa 1648) is a historic house located at 431 Maple Street, Danvers, Massachusetts, and the birthplace of Major General Israel 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 General Israel Putnam, commander of the colonial troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill, was born in the house. In 1991 the Putnam Family descendants gave its stewardship to the Danvers Historical Society.
