Location Description

A colonial house on 28 acres of fields and forest. Surrounded by rolling green fields, the Nurse House is secluded from the surrounding neighborhood and has several period-restored rooms, with antique pane-glass windows. Also on the property is an exact replica of the 1672 Salem Village Meetinghouse, which was built for the film Three Sovereigns for Sarah (1985). Could be used for colonial church scenes, assembly scenes, or courtroom scenes. Other buildings on the property include the exterior of a barn, a woodshed, and two smaller outbuildings in addition to the Nurse Family Cemetery, with graves and monuments erected over the course of several centuries. The 28 acres of picturesque fields and forest have no view of 21st century life on the horizon from almost all angles. Many angles also could include no Homestead buildings in scene if needed. There is a small brook that flows through the woods as well, and a clearing in the woods that is surrounded by trees. The Homestead is an independent, non-profit museum. Since it is a non-profit no special permits are required from the town zoning board for filming. Though, permits for fires, etc. may be needed. Large flat, mowed grass parking area can accommodate buses, trailers, etc. Only 3 min from I-95 and US Route 1, and only 3 min from Route 128. The Homestead was the home of Rebecca Nurse, a victim of the 1692 Salem Village Witch-Hunt, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
