General Israel Putnam House
General Israel Putnam House, Colonial house in Danvers, Massachusetts
The General Israel Putnam House features a combination of pitch and gambrel roofs, with clapboard siding covering its irregular two-and-a-half-story frame structure.
Built around 1648 by Lt. Thomas Putnam, the house became the birthplace of General Israel Putnam, who later emerged as a key figure in the American Revolution.
The residence holds connections to the Salem witch trials through Joseph Putnam, who opposed the hysteria while residing in the house during 1692.
The Danvers Historical Society manages visits to the house at 431 Maple Street, requiring advance appointments for guided tours of the property.
The Putnam family maintained ownership of this house for over three centuries before donating it to the Danvers Historical Society in 1991.
