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.

Interesting and nice to learn more about worcester. Wish it was a little bigger but if your looking for something to do to kill an hour. Worth the trip. Also free parking.

I love exploring new museums and this was a hidden gem!! It was so fun learning about the history of Worcester. I also took some souvenirs home from the gift shop! Will definitely be checking out the Salisbury mansion too! Thank you....

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.

Yes

The gate of Elm Park quotes Edward Winslow Lincoln (son of Levi Lincoln) "thought and wrought". Where does the quote come from and what does it mean as related to Elm Park?

Elm Park was one of the first pieces of land specifically bought to be used as a municipal park in the United States, so my first guess is that its referring to that distinction (as in "this park was thought up, planned, then established").
