Vintage Danvers: Where Is It? ANSWER

Tuesday's hidden location is revealed.

 

Commonly referred to as "the bean supper park" by readers, Tuesday's hidden vintage Danvers location has been revealed: the Training Park on Centre Street. 

Back on April 19, 1775, the Training Field was the location where Danvers minutemen left for the Lexington Alarm, the first battle of the American Revolution. 

Before it became the Training Field, 85 Centre St. and several acres were owned by Deacon Nathaniel Ingersoll. In 1719 he willed the land to the inhabitants as a training place forever. 

Reader Michael Bourgault commented "great memories!" at the Training Field, including bean suppers, horrible parades & Danvers Alarm List functions.
