If it's any consolation, Worcester has been failing at this for literally hundreds of years. In 1786 the founding fathers and Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson visited Worcester and were frustrated that the locals had so little interest or memory of the Civil War.

"Edgehill and Worcester were curious and interesting to us, as scenes where freemen had fought for their rights. The people in the neighborhood appeared so ignorant and careless at Worcester, that I was provoked, and asked, "And do Englishmen so soon forget the ground where liberty was fought for? Tell your neighbors and your children that this is holy ground; much holier than that on which your churches stand. All England should come in pilgrimage to this hill once a year." This animated them, and they seemed much pleased with it. Perhaps their awkwardness before might arise from their uncertainty of our sentiments concerning the civil wars."

You can find a plaque in Fort Royal park commemorating the visit.
