Harvard Square:
Explore one of the most famous and beautiful universities in the world! Just about every single brick of this storied campus is steeped in history, much of it predating the United States of America! We’re here to bring all that history to the surface for you.

Get ready to hear the story of Harvard’s beginnings way back in the 1600s, and how it evolved from a tiny college in a tiny colony to one of the most prestigious institutions in the world. Did you know Harvard was one of the first universities to start teaching women, but refused to teach them in the same building as the male students? No, really!

Hear about Harvard’s modernization and expansion, all while strolling through the most picturesque New England campus you’ve ever seen. We’ll introduce you to the dorms where famous alumni lived, the legends behind some key landmarks, and, of course, the gorgeous architecture. There’s a reason people flock here from all over the country just to sightsee. So come see it for yourself!
