Save the Best to Last
We've Moved! ​
Preservation Worcester has a new home in the historic Salisbury House. We are energized by this ambitious move and how it will continue to advance our mission!
The mission of Preservation Worcester is to maintain for future generations the sites and structures which are significant to the culture, history, and architecture of the city and to encourage excellence in future design with a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.​
Announcing the Deborah Packard Salisbury House Endowment​
​
We've created an endowment fund to honor former Executive Director Deborah Packard's 21 years of service and her upcoming retirement. To honor Deb’s extraordinary contributions and ensure her legacy endures, we are establishing the Deborah Packard Salisbury House Endowment Fund for the ongoing restoration and preservation of our headquarters, Salisbury House. This has been a signature project for Preservation Worcester, and one that has been made possible through Deb’s passion and energy. Join us in celebrating Deb’s incredible legacy and supporting the future of historic preservation in Worcester.

In collaboration with the Museum of Worcester, join us for a candlelight tour of BOTH Salisbury Mansion, the 1772 home of Stephen Salisbury I, and Salisbury House, the 1832 home of Stephen Salisburys II & III. The historic homes will be decorated for an authentically New England holiday experience. Preservation Worcester docents will present on Salisbury family's three-generation history in Salisbury House's double parlor, then allow guests to explore all the rooms of Salisbury Mansion, from the parlor to the library to the drawing rooms.
