About this walk

Built on ground swept clear by the deadly 1953 Worcester tornado, Quinsigamond turned a neighborhood scar into the county's largest public gateway to college.

A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Worcester has a long-running one. Four stops over 2.5 miles, about 21 minutes of driving. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

Worcester has 15 MassRoam tours and no two cover the same ground. It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
