Gov. John Endicott (1589-1665) planted this pear tree in approximately 1631 or 1632. The colony granted him "Orchard Farm" in Danvers where he planted this pear tree, which still lives today. According to the Visitor's Guide "this tree is claimed to be the oldest cultivated fruit tree in New England."
