Tour Salisbury Mansion
August 1, Noon – 1 pm
Location: 40 Highland St.
Built in 1772 as a combination house and general store, Salisbury Mansion served as the home of “gentleman-merchant” Stephen Salisbury. Worcester’s only historic house museum, it has gone through many changes over the years, from a rooming-house to a gentleman’s club. Through tireless research and documentation, Salisbury Mansion has been restored to its 1830s splendor to reflect the time when it was home to the widow Elizabeth Salisbury and her staff and is one of the best documented historic house museums in New England. Come join us as docents from the Worcester Historical Museum guide us on a tour of one of Worcester’s premier historic buildings. Please meet at the front door of Salisbury Mansion.
