Mount Auburn Cemetery, founded in 1831, is located in nearby Cambridge. Declared a National Historic Landmark, Mount Auburn is known as the very first landscaped/garden cemetery and is more like visiting a huge park than a land of the dead. With manicured gardens, stone gazebos, small ponds, waterfalls and even a stone tower located atop a hill (you can climb the spril staircase to the top and have an incredible view miles upon miles of Massachusetts), you can easily spend hours here relaxing in the calming beauty surrounding you.
Tens of thousands of people visit the Mount Auburn Cemetery daily. It is open free to the public year-round. Maps can be picked up at the Cemetery gates and main office located right past the front gates.

There's a Pinto stationwagon parked in front. Those were the cars that caught on fire when rear-ended. You don't see many of them on the roads these days. Leave a Comment

Alot of people go to Harvard Square & visit Harvard Yard & browse among the many shops in the square. However, alot of people miss some of the most interesting museums in that area.
Go & visit the Harvard museums! There are a few to choose from including the Sackler Museum & Busch-Reisinger Museum (art museums) and the Botanical Museum & the Mineralogical & Geological Museum (natural history museums). Discounts are available if you visit more than one too.
The museums are not so big & you won't get the crowds as in the museums in Boston (like the MFA or the science museum). Leave a Comment

Central Square is the place to go to meet people who live in Cambridge. It has the coolest cafe (the 1369, which is at 757 Mass. Ave), some of the best restaurants, and a more urban feel and diverse crowd than Harvard Square, which tends to be full of mostly white, mostly affluent Harvard students and suburbanites.

Fresh Pond is Cambridge's fresh water reservoir. You can't swim here, but you can certainly picnic, and walk around the pond. There's a recreation area for kids, and even a golf course here.
Try parking on Huron Avenue, near the Belmont Cemetery. Leave a Comment
