The Rebecca Nurse farmstead in old Salem village (modern-day Danvers MA). The original 1690's house on what is left of the Nurse property. Family lore has it that Mary's body was secreted away at night after the execution and buried in the spot on the Nurse farm where this monument now stands. In the 1970's the remains of George Jacobs, also accused and executed, were rediscovered in a field on what had been his property when it was being developed into housing.
He was identified with forensics and brought to the Nurse farm. George's remains were buried here with full ceremonial honors by the Danvers Alarm Company, a local historical reenactment group that now owns the farm.
