Salisbury Mansion, Worcester (must see)

The Salisbury Mansion was constructed in 1772 by Stephen Salisbury I. Owned by three successive generations, the mansion witnessed many socio-cultural and economic changes in Worcester. As the Salisbury family was actively involved in local charitable activities, the mansion was saved as a historic house. It belonged first to the American Antiquarian Society. Later it became the property of the Worcester Art Museum. In 1984, after being restored, the mansion opened to citizens as a historic house museum, preserving the natural atmosphere of the Salisbury family home life in the 1830s.
