Judge Samuel Holten House, Colonial museum in Danvers, Massachusetts
The Judge Samuel Holten House features preserved 18th-century architecture with multiple rooms containing period furnishings and historical artifacts from colonial times.
Built in 1670 by Benjamin Holten, the house gained prominence when Samuel Holten, a Continental Congress member and signer of the Articles of Confederation, resided there.
The house exhibits the living conditions and social patterns of early American settlers through its preserved rooms, furniture, and household items.
The Daughters of the American Revolution manage the museum, which opens for guided tours by appointment and includes detailed explanations of colonial life.
Sarah Holten, a previous resident of the house, provided testimony during the Salem Witch Trials in 1692 that led to Rebecca Nurse's execution.
