WORCESTER, Mass. - Worcester played a significant role in the Revolutionary War, and a walking tour in the city highlights some important locations.

Worcester Historical Museum and Salisbury Mansion site manager Bob Stacy says there are spots in the city still around from the war. Sites like the old Isaiah Thomas house, Heywood Tavern, which is now deadhorse hill restaurant, and the old meeting house located where city hall currently sits, are featured on the walk.

Stacy says people may not know Worcester was the center of a lot of Revolutionary activity, and this tour brings it to light.

"Worcester was one of the most radical centers for independence,” said Stacy. “And there are some people, several historians, who believe the revolution really didn't start in Boston or Lexington and Concord. But started in September 1774 here in Worcester."

The walking tours begin on July 3, starting at the Salisbury Mansion at 10 a.m. 

If interested, Stacy says to call the museum and reserve your spot.
