We were honored to host a press conference and tea at Mechanics Hall for members of Nihon Hidankyo during their visit to Worcester.

The delegation included Hibakusha — survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — whose lifelong advocacy for peace and nuclear disarmament helped earn Nihon Hidankyo the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.

Guests were also treated to a moving musical selection performed by Mechanics Hall’s own Christon Carney. We are grateful to have welcomed these remarkable voices of remembrance, resilience, and hope.

Volunteer support has been part of the Hall’s story for generations—and today’s volunteers continue that legacy with every event, every welcome, and every helping hand. Thank you for all that you do.
Special thanks to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) for 3204 volunteer hours since our partnership started in 2022!
Enjoy this video made by our amazing Volunteer Manager, Valerie Roy, and take a look inside Mechanics Hall Volunteer community!
