WORCESTER, Mass. - Worcester’s only historic house museum is celebrating its 250th anniversary this weekend.

The Salisbury Mansion was built for Stephen Salisbury in 1772.

In addition to tours on Saturday, the mansion will be celebrating Stephen Salisbury's birthday during their Sunday tours with cupcakes.

Restored in the 1980s, the mansion serves to show what life was like in 1835.

Site manager Robert Stacy says he loves the feeling of going back in time when he steps inside the mansion.

"You get to live with history, that's the nice thing. Every time, basically whenever I come in the door, we're leaving 2022 behind and stepping right into 1835," Robert Stacy said. "And the more you learn about the mansion, the more you learn about what it was like for people to live at that time. It captures life as the Salisburys lived it. And of course, the Salisburys had a lot to do with building up Worcester as an industrial community. They were contributors to the American Antiquarian. They were contributors also to WPI and a lot of hospitals and other institutions here in Worcester."

The Salisbury Mansion will also be hosting a candlelight tour this upcoming Thursday to give visitors a feel of life without electricity.

On Oct. 15, the Sudbury Minutemen will be performing militia drills on the mansion's front lawn.
