History of the Faith in Worcester

Many Baha'is have lived in our cluster throughout the years.  Some of them have had international, national, regional or local impact in the development of the faith.  Remarkable people like Florence Morton, the Struven Family, and Amelia Collins have honored our cluster at some time in their lives.
