Andover is situated on the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts. It was settled in 1642. Early settlers were attracted to the area by being given tax exemption for three years. Andover split from what is now North Andover when parishioners insisted it was too far to go to church in the north and established their own. Andover is close to Salem and became embroiled in the witch trials of the late 17th century. In the 20th century, the American Woolen Company established a model industrial village in Andover which included 200 houses. These were sold when the company closed and are now residences and business premises. Certain attractions may be temporarily closed or require advance reservations. Hours/availability may have changed.
