Unmissable Places to Visit In Massachusetts

05 Harvard

Harvard University is the oldest college in America. It was founded in 1636 and has educated eight US presidents, Pulitzer Prize winners, and over a dozen Nobel Laureate winners.

The campus itself covers 209 acres and is known as Harvard Yard. This is home to most of the academic and administrative buildings, libraries, and freshman housing. Many of the buildings on Harvard Yard are also of historic note; there are eleven museums which are open to members of the general public.

You can enjoy a historical tour that leaves daily from the Smith Campus Center or download a map and enjoy a self-guided tour.
