Harvard Square / Harvard University, Boston

Directions: Take the (T) and get off at the Harvard Square stop. Right in the middle of the square there's a real live person in a booth who'll direct you to where you want to go. I suggest picking a direction and just walking. There's tons to do and see.

Massachusetts Hall, Harvard's
oldest building

Established in 1636, Harvard is the oldest and most famous of all American universities. Every year, thousands of tourists make the short trip from Boston to Cambridge to walk across Harvard Yard, rub the foot of the John Harvard statue for good luck, as the student tradition goes, and admire its most notable buildings such as Massachusetts Hall (1720), Harvard's oldest building, the Widener Library, named after Elkins Widener who died on the Titanic in 1912 and, with over 3 million books, the third largest library in the US, Holden Chapel, and Memorial Church. You can go on a guided tour of the campus or better yet, just roam around on your own and pretend for an afternoon that you're a Harvard student!

Among the countless activities, I must encourage tourists of a few of my favorites...Harvard Square, for one...'center of student life...' With little shops all along the sides of every street, Harvard Square is a joy to just walk around and browse...there are restaurants, cinemas, and hotels...Especially on Friday afternoon/evenings, try to visit when the musicians, artists, magicians, etc.,come out to play! The place is littered with all forms of fun entertainment and activities for all ages! Occasionally stars are seen on Harvard Square...one having been Christina Ricci...Did I forget to mention...Matt Damon and Ben Affleck grew up here?

Directions: If you have been to the Boston area, you are familiar with the 'T' (subway train). If you catch the Green Line T and ride to Park Street, switch to Red Line, where you can catch the Alewife T that mak

Other Contact: keep in mind that Harvard is in

Harvard

While we were in Boston, we crossed over the Charles River to visit Harvard in Cambridge. Harvard offers daily tours in the summer and each day shows hundreds of Harvard hopefuls around the campus. We enjoyed walking around the campus and admiring the red brick buildings with large columns and the shaded common grounds. On these tours you learn interesting facts from the student guides, like some classes at Harvard have only 1 student, while another might have 900 students. 900 students in a class! I can't even imagine it. Sounds like a terrible Spielberg movie.

Harvard Yard is where Harvard University started. Located in Cambridge, Boston. The Yard consists of many Georgian red brick buildings for Harvard Freshmen dormitories. Harvard College was founded in 1636 by Massachusetts Bay Colony. It was named after its first benefactor, minister John Harvard of Charlestown who left his library of books and half his estate to this new educational institution that is now world famous. The statue of John Harvard is often the symbol of attack and target of prankster and grafitti of drunken freshmen or rivals of Harvard of visiting football teams.

This is a picture of a church located just outside Havard University in Cambridge. Harvard is definitely a must see when visiting Boston. You can walk around the grounds of the campus and see the beautiful buildings that the students are privileged to be able to study at. As you can see from the picture there had been alot of snowfall over the previous few days.
