Worcester: The Heart of the Commonwealth
Nestled amidst the undulating knolls and forests of central Massachusetts, little Worcester is steeped in revolutionary history and packs one hefty cultural punch. Green and leafy, it's gilded with elegant 19th-century buildings and aged factories left over from an industrial boom in the 1800s. There are pretty parks peppering its outer districts too, while other travelers come in search of one of the coveted Worcester vacation rentals on the edge of the babbling Blackstone River, quaint New England homes rubbing shoulders with interesting National Register Historic Places, or the serene stays around Institute Park and Bell Hill.
Relax and unravel local history in Worcester
You won't have to venture far from Worcester vacation rentals in the center of town if you've come here to wonder at the rich history of this New England destination. You'll be able to spy out redbrick factories and millhouses between the neighborhoods, all of which tell stories of a 19th-century industrial golden age. To balance that out, there are manicured parks with duck ponds, picnic spots, and elegant bridges to wallow away your days in, not to mention the ubiquitous Massachusetts craft breweries for those local hops and ale tipples.
A balance of culture and nature in Worcester
With the Worcester Art Museum and the Hanover Theatre bolstering the local arts scene, it's hardly a surprise that culture vultures flock to this quaint mill town in the heart of Massachusetts. Meanwhile, the old Union Station, the national library, the neo-Gothic rises of the Bancroft Tower, and the remains of countless redbrick mills all draw history buffs with their tales of wire making and old revolutionaries. And once you're done with the sightseeing, perhaps you can seek out rare bald eagles and pretty picnic spots in the local bird sanctuaries and parks.
From summer to winter in Worcester
Most sightseers looking to hop between the industrial millhouses of downtown Worcester will come here in the summertime between June and August, when the temperatures are mild and there's little rain. However, there's actually plenty to do all year round. By winter, you can search for Worcester vacation rentals close to Green Hill for some snow sledding, or stay down Main Street close to the festive ice rinks. Or, you could head here in the fall, in September and October, when Elm Park and the other green spaces are a natural showcase of the famous New England fall colors.
Hills, woods, and waters in Worcester
Worcester isn't hailed as the Heart of the Commonwealth for nothing – it's nestled close to the very geographical middle of Massachusetts. That means it's encompassed by beautiful swathes of green hills and woodland, sweeping wetlands, and sylvan valleys. The Blackstone River cuts right through the town, weaving and winding past College Hill and the elongated banks of Quinsigamond, where rowers and sailors meet on the weekend. Meanwhile, nature trails like the Broad Meadow Loop, the Cascade Falls Loop, and the Jordan Pond Trail offer views of waterfalls and small reservoirs, and some top birdwatching spots to boot.
