HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

From all of us at the Danvers Historical Society best wishes for a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year.

 2014 is going to be a banner year for the Danvers Historical Society as we 

-- continue, after kicking off the celebration with a spectacular December Designer Holiday Show House at the Endicott Mansion,  to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the saving of Glen Magna Farms from demolition....

 -- celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Society in 1889

 -- celebrate the 100th anniversary of the saving from demolition the Society's Headquarters, the richly historical 1754  Page House, and

-- celebrate the 200th anniversary of the purchase of the then Ingersoll Farm by Salem Maritime Merchant and millionaire, Joseph Peabody, as a refuge for his family and goods from the feared attack on Salem by the British Fleet off of Marblehead in 1814.  More about this later.....
