Adventure Awaits
Worcester Passport
Explore, discover and engage with Worcester in entirely new ways.
Where Will Your Passport Take You?
Ready. Set. Explore.
Bring history to life with your free WORCESTER PASSPORT issued in celebration of two significant anniversaries—the 150th of the Museum of Worcester and the 177th of the incorporation of Worcester as a city on February 29, 1848. Experience a year of adventure and exploration throughout our city and our shared stories.
Your limited-edition PASSPORT TO WORCESTER s available at the Museum of Worcester beginning Friday, February 28, and Saturday, March 1—the best we could do during a non-leap year—and while supplies last. (No ID is required, just your excitement to explore.)
A World of Discoveries Awaits
Your MOW PASSPORT is your guide to exciting monthly challenges, leading you to different locations across Worcester. Each month new questions and activities for PASSPORT holders of all ages will appear here with details, directions, and questions. Each will inspire the PASSPORT holder to explore, discover and engage with the city in new ways—as an individual, family, organization, or class.
Start
Major Taylor
To get started, your first stop is the Major Taylor Museum or the Major Taylor statue. Once there, take a picture, then answer these questions: What was Major Taylor’s nickname? And, what challenge occurs in Worcester every year in his honor?
Bring your photo(s) and answers to the Museum of Worcester for your February sticker!
You might also consider these questions in your classroom, at the dinner table, or as personal reflection: What qualities do you think make an athlete truly great? Can you think of any other examples of athletes who have used their platform to change public opinion or policies on social issues?
