Long-time CMS members Nick Anastasi and Louise Rossetti had a nice time running through Danvers with 174 finishers. And now for today's history lesson,  from the official Danvers web site: 

In 1752 Danvers, formerly known as Salem Village, was officially established as a District and was made a township in 1757. During the 1760's and 1770's Danvers took a politically active role in the growing revolutionary turmoil, and her record during the Revolutionary War is indeed a proud one. Seven Danvers minutemen were killed in the first armed struggle during the Lexington Alarm of April 19, 1775. 300 Danversites served actively in the war, and Danversport built and outfitted 4 privateers. So too, Danvers gave the nation such famous sons as Brigadier General Israel Putnam and Doctor Samuel Holten, a member and President of the Continental Congress, and signer of the Articles of the Confederation
