Architecture, history & things to do near Harvard University (Harvard)
Harvard's campus spans both sides of the Charles River, with Harvard Yard as its historic heart. Founded in 1636, it's the oldest institution of higher education in the United States. The Yard's Georgian and Colonial buildings include Massachusetts Hall (the oldest building, housing the president's office), University Hall, and Widener Library — one of the largest university libraries in the world. Across the river, Harvard Business School and the athletics complex occupy the Allston campus. The Science Center, a Brutalist landmark, anchors the science departments, while the Law School's Langdell Hall sits north of the Yard.
