WELCOME
The purpose of the Worcester, Vermont Historical Society is to conserve the unique story of Worcester's past through education, preservation, restoration, and interpretation for the benefit of our posterity. The Society's resources, collections, and archives will be used to communicate the historical and cultural legacy of Worcester, to maintain and foster our community heritage.
Response was so great at our July 4th Open House that we decided to repeat it every second and fourth Saturday during the summer. So the WHS building on Calais Road will be open this Saturday, July 24 from 10 am until 12 Noon so you can view all six new exhibits plus "Ida's Pantry." A new WHS publication of "Voices" scripts and more is available. Julia Hewitt and Michael Crocker will be hosting.

The Cow That Tried to Swallow a Potato - that’s the history of Worcester, Vermont. Life happened, and often it was quirky and interesting. No big battles, no national movements, no spectacular event - just the everyday lives of hard-working Vermonters trying to get by, and from time to time, producing some noteworthy and unconventional history.
"The Cow that Tried to Swallow a Potato: A Quirky History of Worcester, Vermont" may be ordered by sending a check for twenty-five dollars to the Worcester Historical Society, P.O. Box 329, Worcester, Vermont 05682. Makes a great gift and a genealogist's goldmine, these 360 pages of memories, pictures and historical information is not like any other local history you have ever read.
