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! Leave a Comment Website: www.harvard.edu
