Reviews of Mechanics Hall

…one of the top cultural treasures of Worcester.

Completed in 1857, with a unique organ installed ca.1864, this concert and assembly venue continues to serve as a vital resource for the City of Worcester and its cultural communities. An accessible venue for physically handicapped persons.

PN
What a wonderful way to enjoy the works of Edgar Allen Poe!

Dress for the spirit of the event. We had a lot of fun, the actors brought these stories to life through their amazing story telling! Highly recommend attending!
