Trip to Worcester Historical Museum Candlepin Bowling Exhibit "Strikes, Spares and Deadwood" - 10:00 am
No sport reflects New England like candlepin bowling. It is 60 feet from the point of delivery to the top of the triangle. A lot can happen in those 60 feet and the result is totally unpredictable. Candlepin Bowling was invented in Worcester in 1880 by Pop White, the owner of a pool hall on Pearl Street, just around the corner from today’s Worcester Historical Museum. The exhibit shares the origins of the sport and the technicalities of it. Also featured are items from Colonial Bowling Center – the last candlepin bowling alley in Worcester when it closed in 2020. Self guided tour at 10:30. Previous registration required.
