With the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution approaching, history enthusiasts are getting a rare opportunity to visit one of Worcester's most historic homes.

The Colonel Timothy Bigelow chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution own, operate and maintain the house known as The Oaks on Lincoln Street in Worcester. Construction of the home began in 1774 by Judge Timothy Paine who was loyal to the British Crown. The group, in collaboration with the the American Battlefield Trust, is showcasing an exhibit honoring the 250th anniversary of the Revolution and features stories told from a wide variety of perspectives. The Colonel Bigelow chapter Regent Elaine Gardella said it's a great way to learn some of the seldom told stories from the birth of the country. She said of the display, "It's a twelve panel, with interactive kiosks, display depicting the lesser known stories of the American Revolution. Highlighting individuals both on the Patriot and the Loyalist side. We have a whole vignette really of stories that are very unique but they're also very short and digestible. So it's very easy to just get a little bit of a preview and understand a little bit more of the concepts of the American Revolution and why people decide which side to choose at the time."

Visitors can also view the other rooms and artifacts on the first floor of the historic home. The exhibit is open Saturday, April 5th from 10:00am to 2:00pm and Sunday, April 6th from noon to 2:00pm.
