Town of Danvers history
Town of Danvers company history timeline
The Endicott Estate was purchased during the War of 1812 by Joseph Peabody, the wealthiest Salem shipping merchant of his day, as the summer retreat for the family for more than 140 years.
In addition to many historic houses, Salem contains the Peabody Museum (1799) and the Essex Institute (1848). Coastal resort communities rich in maritime history and architectural tradition include Gloucester, Manchester, Marblehead, Rockport, and Newburyport.
By 1892, the property belonged to Ellen Peabody Endicott, Joseph Peabody’s granddaughter, who further enlarged and embellished the central house known as Glen Magna and surrounding grounds.
He was instrumental in bringing the Derby Summer House (built in 1794) to the property in 1901.
In 1961, under former Town Manager Robert Curtis the Town purchased 165 acres of the property for $330,000, including all the outlying farm buildings, saving it from a 250 home residential development.
Dave and Joan Townley were hired by the Town of Danvers in 1972 to come up with a master plan for what would later be known as Endicott Park.
