The Best Holiday open houses in Salisbury, Massachusetts

Salisbury Mansion, located at 40 Highland Street in Worcester, Massachusetts, is a historic house museum that offers a glimpse into the life of "gentleman-merchant" Stephen Salisbury. Originally built in 1772 as a combination house and store, the mansion has undergone many changes over the years, eventually becoming a rooming-house and a gentleman's club before being restored to reflect the 1830s era when it was home to Elizabeth Tuckerman Salisbury. Visitors can experience the spirit of the holiday season at Salisbury Mansion during the "Home for the Holidays" event, with tours offered on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The mansion is also open for candlelight tours on select Fridays and Saturdays in December, allowing guests to explore the beautifully decorated rooms and learn about Worcester's history and heritage.
