May 19 – Samuel Staples’ Birthday Celebration – Founding Father of Worcester Historical Museum
May 19, 2022 @ 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Celebrate WHM Founder Samuel Staples’ 200th Birthday and the Museum’s 147th year of collecting, preserving, interpreting, and sharing Worcester’s history. We’re doing just what “Sam” encouraged US to do, “Rescue from oblivion such historical matters as would otherwise be lost.” Take your seat at the table…be sure your stories are included for generations. Join us for the birthday celebration and unveiling of Redemption Rock Brewing’s “Rescue from Oblivion” larger with tastings available. Raise a glass to toast our shared history!
