The Rebecca Nurse Homestead is centered on a historic colonial house built ca. 1700 located at 149 Pine Street, Danvers, Massachusetts. It had many additions through the years, eventually being historically restored and turned into a museum in 1909. Today it is owned and operated by the Danvers Alarm List Company, a volunteer non-profit organization of Revolutionary War reenactors, and is part of the Salem Village Historic District. It is named in honor of resident Rebecca Nurse an elderly woman accused and executed in the Salem witch trials of 1692.
