The Rebecca Nurse Homestead is located in Danvers, Massachusetts. In 1692, this would have been Salem Village and Rebecca was one of those accused of witchcraft during the witchcraft trials. She was found guilty and hung. The homestead has the 1678 house (in red) and is available for self-guided tours. Also on the property is the Nurse family cemetery, where there’s a monument to Rebecca
Great place for dinner in West Roxbury. Drink & beer menu is great-and we’ve been back a few times for dinner and it’s always good. Thumbs up.
Great breakfast spot, we had the full Irish with bangers, rashers, grilled tomato, black pudding and beans. Thumbs up. Lots more to try looking forward to going back
The Paper House in Rockport, Massachusetts. Built in 1922 by Elis Stenman, the summer house began with a traditional wood frame. Old newspapers mixed with a flour and water glued were then used to fill the walls. After varnishing the finished product, the paper walls were left to the elements to see how they weathered.

Happy with results, and inspired- Elis began constructing newspaper furniture to decorate the house. Inside you’ll find several chairs, a writing desk and even grandfather clock constructed of rolled and varnished newspaper. A close eye will reveal the writing desk is made of papers detailing Charles Linbergh’s flight across the Atlantic; and the cot is made of papers from World War 1.
.
The roof and floor are wood, and the fireplace is brick for practical reasons- but nearly everything else is newspaper. Open to the public from April to October, you can take a peek inside for a $2 (suggested) donation #paperhouse #reusereducerecycle #architecture #historichomes #rockportma
