We all got history…Worcester at 300

July 14, 2022 - October 8, 2022

We all got history… Worcester at 300, opened in the Museum’s Booth Gallery on July 14, 2022 and closed on October 8, 2022. The exhibition continued the community-wide celebration of Worcester’s 300th anniversary as an official town in the Commonwealth.

Included in the exhibition was a small sampling of the museum’s collection that represents some of the people, places, and things that make Worcester the “Heart of the Commonwealth.” Each section in the exhibition offered a unique perspective with the inclusion of historic and modern objects, paintings, broadsides, and archival documents. These items invite you to see that unexpected objects are legitimate sources for the shared stories that are Worcester.

“We all got history…” Find yourself in Worcester’s history, knowing that everyone’s story is important, both to our shared past as well as to the next 300 years.
