Historic Beverly Under The Bright Lights And Camera

BEVERLY, MA — Hale Farm got a close up Thursday, according to the folks at Historic Beverly. They're keeping their cards close to them about just which celebrity brought all the lights, camera and action, but they seemed pretty excited about it, taking to social media to share a sneak peek.

A representative from Historic Beverly said they signed a nondisclosure agreement so they can't give out any other details just yet. But keep an eye on their social media posts, they said, for updates in the spring.

"We’ve used the Balch House a number of times, but at least while I’ve been here, this was a first for Hale," said Susan Goganian, director of Historic Beverly.

To recap about Hale Farm: The original 1694 Hale House structure was built in 1694 for Rev. John Hale, of Salem witchcraft trial fame (infamy?). He also happened to be the first minister of Beverly. The Hales, and then their Bancroft descendants owned the property until 1937, according to Historic Beverly.

Of course, Beverly is no stranger to the lights and cameras. Have you had a Hollywood experience in Beverly? Email us about it Jenna.Fisher@Patch.com.
