The house was built on 100 acres of farmland owned by Thomas Putnam and occupied by the Putnam family for over three centuries. Its resident in 1692, Joseph Putnam, spoke out against the hysteria of the Salem Witch Trials. His son, Major General Israel Putnam, commander of the colonial troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill was born in the house. www.danvershistory.org/buildings/putnam.htm
