Charles Linder: The guide was wonderful, the history lesson incredible and its probably one of the more affordable historical mansion you can visit (not like a Newport mansion).I'm guessing on how busy they are determines the tour length but we spent about 45 minutes there and parking was free.

Narcisa Smuliac: Upon entering the mansion you'll be greeted by the tour guide and given a narrative of the history of the place. The tour tool about 30 minutes. It was okay and something to do in Worcester.

Andrew Keefe: We were the only people who showed up for 'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Steven Aronson: Very nice tour and guide of an excellent restoration of elite Worcester history

Rebecca Rentzsch: I've got the ticket when I have visited the Historical museum. At first I was unsure because I had to knock but everyone was very nice. They were about to decorate the house for christmas (Although the Salisburys were Calvinists). We were three people at the tour. Our tour guide was really quirky but she knew everything about it. I got confused by all these different names but our tour guide told us everything even in a funny (sometimes judging) way. I love how the house looks! Our guide explained us the changes which were made during the centuries. All in all very great!

David Seybert: Cool place to learn about Worcester history and take a tour. Friendly staff.

James Walker: I had friends visit from Maryland who couldn't believe how great the collection at the Worcester Art Museum was for a city the size of Worcester. It was only when I went on a tour of this mansion that I learned that Stephen Salisbury donated money to the museum and many other institutions in Worcester. I loved it when I went again and saw a group of elementary students coming out. I told them the only reason why Stephen Salisbury had all his money, namely, he was a bachelor and never had any children.

Deirdra Murphy: Yesterday we went to Salisbury Mansion, and it was marvelous! Thanks to the knowledge and enthusiasm of the Docents who gave our tour, it was truly an experience of history in it's most accessible form, through the architecture, furnishings, and the story of the people who lived and worked there, from 1772-1851, and even after, the building itself undergoing many changes until efforts to restore it and create this extraordinary historical experience, I feel we learned so much, and still, I want very much to return soon and learn more! Definitely an experience you don't want to miss!
