Immerse yourself in 1692 by visiting the 17th century homestead of Rebecca Nurse.

Hear the heart-wrenching story of the oldest woman executed during the Salem Witch Trials in a replica of the Meeting House where she was accused. While you’re here, visit the family burial ground where her family is said to have secretly laid to rest.
