Worcester Blackstone Visitor Center

The Worcester Blackstone Visitor Center is a critical component to the revitalization of Quinsigamond Village.  With the completion of the Blackstone Parkway (Route 146), the Visitor Center capitalizes on the economic development potential generated by this major infrastructure project.  The Visitor Center calls for the renovation of the Washburn & Moen factory on McKeon Road and the relocation of the Worcester County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and the Worcester Historical Museum.  The facility will also greet visitors with a gift shop, gallery, theater and spaces for special events.  The 6-acre site will offer other amenities including ample parking, access to the Blackstone River Bikeway, and passive green space around the scenic Blackstone River.
