Massachusett's Harvard Square is one of the busiest and most exciting
spots in New England. The heart of it is Harvard University with all its
history, tradition, and ivy-covered, red brick walls. Over 250 vintage
postcards display the growth of Harvard Square -- from a sleepy village,
where General George Washington took command of the colonial troops, to
a contemporary city. Harvard Square, and the city of Cambridge by
extension, still retains many historic buildings and churches and its
student population with all its associated, diverse, cosmopolitan
attractions.
