Additional Details:
This picturesque little church and parsonage at Danvers Center were erected in 1891, on the site which had held the meeting house since the year 1702. In the spring following the coming of Governor Endicott, 1629, the first church was organized, but it was not until 1684 that the earliest meeting house was erected and the church that for more than two centuries dominated New England thought and life was established at Salem. The sinewy oak timbers of this ancient building, with modern roof and walls, still remain
