General Israel Putnam is Thomas’ grandson, the famous general of the American Revolution, who was born in the house. The Putnam House is now operated by the Danvers Historical Society and open by appointment.]
The Putnam House served as home to twelve generations of a prominent local family. The original property consisted of 100 acres of farmland owned by Thomas Putnam in what was then Salem Village. In 1692, Joseph Putnam lived on the property and spoke out against the witchcraft hysteria gripping the village.
In the 1850’s, Daniel Putnam operated a shoe-making shop here.
A century later, passing motorists stopped for candies and ice cream served in the Putnam Pantry. The best known resident of the house was General Israel Putnam, who commanded troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
The property was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. In 1991, the Putnam Family descendants gave over the stewardship to the Danvers Historical Society.

• Became one of the wealthiest and most prominent citizen in the village. His residence in later years became the home of General Israel Putnam, of Revolutionary fame. It is still standing, and is known as the "General Israel Putnam House".[S:52]
