Home to the location where George Washington took command of the troops and to America’s oldest Ivy League university, Cambridge is a city that feels like a town.
Hasty Pudding meetings were enlivened with mock trials spoofing happenings in Cambridge and among the faculty; by 1860 the trials had evolved into shows. In a corner of the Cambridge Common, across from Harvard Yard, a Gilded Age statue of a Puritan has been toppled several times. Letters home from Robert Kennedy were found stashed on a high shelf in a college room he occupied, over 30 years after he graduated.
From protests to the “Beer Garden Summit”, author Jane Merrill shares the stories behind notable landmarks and some significant but little-known facts in and around town.
