the fuller Gallery of Industrial History

The Fuller Gallery of Industrial History tells the ongoing story of the innovators, workers, and investors who made industry the story of Worcester. The exhibit reflects back on more than one hundred fifty years of collecting by Museum of Worcester. Diversity and invention have been the hallmarks of Worcester industry since the beginning of the industrial revolution in the early nineteenth century. This gallery travels in time from “spools and tools to eds and meds,” featuring the early days of the Blackstone Canal to Worcester’s current biotech dominance in the Heart of the Commonwealth.
