About this walk

Born in 1874 as a school to train Worcester's teachers, this campus grew over 150 years into a full public university serving thousands in the city's Tatnuck neighborhood.

A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Worcester has a long-running one. Four stops over 1.0 miles, about 18 minutes of driving. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

Of the 15 MassRoam tours in Worcester, this is the campus one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
