WHM Celebrates 150 Years! Arrive Curious. Leave Fascinated.

As the museum turns 150, come celebrate and see first-hand the transformation of the Museum, with a day packed with fun activities and performance.

Founding father Samuel Staples will greet guests in our new lobby and gift shop, Abby Kelley Foster will share her recently transcribed letters in the Library, Frances Perkins is always up for a chat about social security and labor laws, Major Taylor will be on hand with bicycle tales, and Esther Howland will assist you in making a 19th century inspired valentine.

Perhaps you would like to write your name in Chinese after seeing the Chin family exhibit, bowl a strike in our candlepin bowling exhibit, or listen to local musician Nat Needle play Worcester inspired songs. Discover a piece of Worcester history.
