Danvers, Historic colonial town in Essex County, Massachusetts
Danvers stretches across northeastern Massachusetts with residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and preserved colonial structures along the Danvers River.
The town, established in 1636 as Salem Village, gained notoriety in 1692 when accusations of witchcraft led to trials and executions of local residents.
The Rebecca Nurse Homestead maintains exhibits and educational programs about colonial life and the events of the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts.
North Shore Community College provides higher education opportunities to residents through multiple academic programs and professional certifications.
The Danvers Half-Long Carrot, developed by local farmers in the 1800s, became a standard vegetable variety used in agriculture across North America.
