On our second day in Boston, July 25th, we decided to take a tour of Harvard. Our first stop was in the square.
The Widener Library was in the square, it is dedicated to a former student, Harry Elkins Widener, who died on the Titanic in 1912.
Memorial Hall was the most beautiful building on campus. Mackenzie and Briana said it reminded them of Harry Potter and I had to agree!
On the walls of the hall were names of students who fought in the civil war on the union side.
Of course we had to stop at Harvard Law School, but we did not find Elle Woods.
Our final stop at Harvard was the Wadsworth House. This was a location briefly used by George Washington as headquarters when he assumed command of the Continental Army.
In the afternoon we decided to get out of the heat and go to a movie in this old theater called Coolidge.
I don't remember the movie well, but it was cool when the curtains opened and shut across the screen as the movie started and ended.
we got some great ice cream after the movie and in the evening we headed out to the ball game at Fenway Park!
The Red Sox ended up losing but I LOVED going to this historic park on such a beautiful evening!
