The Benjamin Abbot House or Abbot Homestead is a historic house at 9 Andover Street in Andover, Massachusetts, USA. It remains a private residence and is visible from the Haverhill MBCR commuter train just before the Andover station. It was the residence of Benjamin Abbot, a teacher and a figure of the Salem Witch Trials. Abbot accused Martha Carrier of giving him a boil and killing one of his cows through witchcraft. Carrier was later hanged.[2]
The house was built in 1711 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. In 2004, PBS filmed a History Detectives documentary with the Abbot homestead as the subject. Dendrochronologists were consulted, and it was determined that the earliest portion of the house was built in 1711.[3]
