Announcing Designers' Holiday Show House Fundraiser at Glen Magna Farms' Endicott Mansion.

      To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Danvers Historical Society's purchasing Glen Magna Farms with its 16,000 square foot Endicott Mansion and 11 acres of award winning Olmstead designed grounds, formal gardens, and Arboretum, 
     thus, saving Glen Magna Farms from demolition to make way for a housing development, 
     13 nationally and regionally renown Designers have undertaken the redecoration of 15 of the Mansion's rooms reflecting the period from 1880 to 1930, when this Danvers branch of the Endicott family was of national and international prominence.

     The Show House kicks off with a gala Preview Opening on Saturday evening, November 30. 

    Next day, the Show House will open to the public for 15 days, from December 1 through December 15, 10-4 each day.  

    There will also be a number of Special Events during the Show House.


    Tickets for the Show House can be purchased by clicking on the

    Please note that Tickets for the Preview Opening and the Special Events are separate from admission to the Show House.  Tickets for the Preview Opening and each Special Event are limited and can be purchased only, on a first come, first served basis, by calling the office (978-777-1666) weekdays, from 9 to 1.

    All proceeds of this spectacular fundraiser will go to support the Danvers Historical Society's work and its current restoration of the National Historic Landmark Derby Summer House.  
    One of less than 2500 National Historic Landmarks in our Nation, the Samuel McIntire designed 1792 Derby Summer House ranks in architectural importance with such other National Historic Landmarks as the White House and Jefferson's Monticello.
