Both campuses occupy historic districts with buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Worcester campus is located on Sever Street in the residential Elm Park neighborhood, not far from downtown Worcester, which is about 40 miles west of Boston. Purchased in 1854 using public funds, Elm Park is recognized as one of the first purchases of land for a public park in the United States. The campus area belonged to the Lincoln family (noted for governors Levi Lincoln, Sr. and Levi Lincoln, Jr., and much of it is in the Lincoln Estate-Elm Park Historic District, which includes some historic properties owned by the college.
