Just across the river from Boston, Cambridge offers an exciting multicultural setting where visitors from around the world mingle in the shadow of two of the world‘s premier educational institutions: Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Teeming with cafes, bookstores, and boutiques, Cambridge is often referred to as "Boston‘s Left Bank".
Old Cambridge encompasses the original village of Newtowne--established by founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. The customs and institutions of Newtowne‘s first residents are discernible in the street plan of their settlement, which survives almost intact in Harvard Square. The neighborhood of Old Cambridge remains a residential, commercial, and academic center. The buildings here span four centuries of Cambridge history and have witnessed the development of a wilderness village into an international community. The most famous house along "Tory Row" on Brattle Street is the Longfellow National Historic Site, former home of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and briefly the headquarters of General George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
To purchase a self-guided walking tour of Old Cambridge and other helpful information, visit the Visitor Information Booth located just outside the main "T" entrance in the heart of Harvard Square. |
