250th Anniversary event

Worcester 250's mission is to celebrate the most notable people, inventions, things, and events from Worcester and across Massachusetts for America's Semiquincentennial.  

This site is divided into general categories (page titles) featuring Worcester then branching out across the state - there are just too many things to include. 

The logo above: 

The colors (red, white, and blue) represent the American colors, the outline of the city is on the right, and the seven stars represents Worcester's seven hills. 

Like  many cities  on the east coast, particularly  those in the northeast,  they're older than the country. Worcester isn't any exception. As such, we understand there's a bit of  inherent weirdness in this website's number, as Worcester began in 1722 (304 years old), but we are using 250 as it relates to America's birthday, and by that, Worcester has been an American city for just as long. 

 As of Flag Day 2026, this site, in our opinion, is incomplete as there are more entries and information that can be published, ranging anywhere from more in depth biographies, achievements, awards, where they grew up (without infringing on other people's privacy), and various links. 

Maybe a site like this can never be truly complete, but over the next few weeks, we hope to be as finished as we reasonably think we can be. Until that moment comes, please visit this site again. 

As Winston Churchill once said, "The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see."
