Salisbury Mansion

It is tiny for a mansion. Historic

Great tour! Had free admission and our guide was very knowledgeable.

Interesting colonial era house museum, great history and original furniture. Particularly cool replicated wall coverings and floor coverings. The tour leader, Ashley, was amazing. Clear, interesting—a great guide. Her ideas for how to show more of the full history of the house and update the visitor experience should be heeded.

I visited on a Friday in March and was greeted by docent Linda who gave a wonderful and very informative tour. I recommend a visit, especially people from the Worcester area. Quite the history of the area.

The guide was wonderful, the history lesson incredible and its probably one of the more affordable historical mansion you can visit (not like a Newport mansion).
I'm guessing on how busy they are determines the tour length but we spent about 45 minutes there and parking was free.

I've got the ticket when I have visited the Historical museum. At first I was unsure because I had to knock but everyone was very nice. They were about to decorate the house for christmas (Although the Salisburys were Calvinists). We were three people at the tour. Our tour guide was really quirky but she knew everything about it. I got confused by all these different names but our tour guide told us everything even in a funny (sometimes judging) way. I love how the house looks! Our guide explained us the changes which were made during the centuries. All in all very great!

I had friends visit from Maryland who couldn't believe how great the collection at the Worcester Art Museum was for a city the size of Worcester. It was only when I went on a tour of this mansion that I learned that Stephen Salisbury donated money to the museum and many other institutions in Worcester. I loved it when I went again and saw a group of elementary students coming out. I told them the only reason why Stephen Salisbury had all his money, namely, he was a bachelor and never had any children.
