Museum of Worcester
















 Earlier this week Ethan asked if we wanted to visit today. Like I am going to say no.
No matter that it was a con to bring a book he left at home or hats and gloves he insisted he didn't need when he came back from break, or that he really was just inviting us to take him out to lunch. But first, we went to the Museum of Worcester. We learned about the city’s industrial history and the wide variety of things invented and made there. We absolutely loved the description of candlepin bowling, which was one of the things. And I bet you've probably had polar seltzer and table talk pies. But did you know the smiley face was also invented in Worcester? I also appreciated that they still made space to show what they once were with the "Antiquities" and particularly appreciated that children were admitted at the discretion of the librarian!
