Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.

Happy 198th birthday, Abby Kelley Foster!

(which matters to us because Cascading Waters was part of Liberty Farm, owned by Stephen and Abby Kelley Foster. It served as a home-away-from-home for prominent abolitionists, and as a stop on the Underground Railroad. If you trace back the deed for Cascading Waters, you get to one signed by Abby Kelley Foster, selling off this property after Stephen's death.)
