I've been here at the Worcester Historical Museum 5 times in the pasted few years, with family this is a beautiful Museum dedicated to our wonderful amazing City of Worcester MA! The reason that brought us in to go to the Worcester Historical MA this pasted Tuesday 8-16-22 , was that my 96 year old Grandfather is coming to visit from Florida with my 94 year Grandmother, we wanted to get him the the wicked cool black tee- shirt that ("say's all the different ways you can Pronounce WORCESTER ")! I'd gotten one a few years ago pior, my grandfather lived in Worcester MA, many years ago. So this shirt has some meaning behind it. This Museum is a great place to go to with young children and adults . It was (FREE Admission ) for us to enter if Im correct It's been (" FREE Admission since Middle of July till the End of August 2022") ,this is another part of celebrating Worcester 300th Tercentennial . Also, during the entire month of February they usually run " FREE " Admission because the kids that are in the Worcester Public schools are on February vacation! Great time to go too! A few things did change, I'd noticed that a few things were up & running at the Museum! Not many people there when we were there.

I think this is a great museum! I loved the touchscreens where I could select artifacts to examine more closely. The replica diner area was fun; even for adults! There’s a lot of hidden gems throughout the museum. I highly recommend checking it out.

The museum is relatively small, but there is a lot of stuff packed in, particularly in the room filled with all the industries that have called Worcester home throughout the years. We also drove the short distance to the Salisbury Mansion (part of the museum). The tour we got was a little rushed as it was the end of the day, but the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and it was both fun and interesting.

Note: I was only here to conduct research in the library, so I saw very little of the exhibit space. What I did see, though, was very well done and the city of Worcester should be proud of its museum. The library staff were, to a person, helpful and accommodating, and took an interest in my research goals. I hope to be back in the near future to continue working with these folks!

Such an adorable museum! Was a great way to pass the time while waiting for an event downtown to start and a great way to learn about the history of the town I was visiting (as someone living outside of Massachusetts). Ellen was super polite and informative about everything!
