Hale Farm, Historic Beverly Open House - 11:00am-4:00pm
John Hale was born in Charlestown, MA in 1636 and came to Beverly to preach when it was still known as the “Bass River Side” of Salem. John Hale served as the pastor at Beverly’s First Parish Church until his death in 1700; he was buried in the Abbot Street cemetery. Hale played a role in the 1692 Salem witchcraft trials and later wrote a book published posthumously, “A Modest Inquiry Into the Nature of Witchcraft,” in an effort to explain what had happened. That book was written at Hale Farm. 39 Hale Street, Beverly.

The Dorchester Company first landed in Weymouth in 1623, then moved north to Gloucester in 1624, but the settlement there was not successful. When the company was recalled to England, the Balches, Roger Conant, John Woodbury, Peter Palfry, and others stayed in Massachusetts and moved south to Naumkeg, now Salem, in 1626. 448 Cabot Street, Beverly.

Family Movie Night: Inception - Movie Starts at Sundown
SUMMER MOVIE SERIES IS FREE TO ALL. MOVIES START AT SUNDOWN
We close the 2025 Summer movie series with this absolute mindmelter. Travel back to the mid 2000’s before Nolan had swallowed his own tail. When we, as Americans, were still collectively trying to make the whole Joseph Gordon Levitt thing happen. Back to the year we tried to wrestle Lucas Haas back out of obscurity. Man o man, those were the day. Back when Tom Hardy was still using a real, human voice. Grab a picnic blanket and a totem and come join us for Inception. You musn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger.
