Harvard Yard Tours

Join the Harvard Crimson Key for a tour of the beautiful and historic Harvard campus.  On the morning of Friday, February 18, travel on the “T” from the Boston Park Plaza to Harvard Square where a Harvard undergraduate will guide you past Widener Library, Memorial Church, and the John Harvard Statue.  Harvard University was founded in 1636 and is the oldest university in the United States.  Harvard Yard is the center of the campus, serving as home to the freshman dorms and has many classrooms and the largest libraries.  A focus of the yard is the Science Center, and Annenberg Hall (the Hogwarts worthy freshman dining hall) and Memorial Hall (home to Sanders Theatre where students attend classes with up to 1000 students). On the other side of the yard is Harvard Square, home to upperclassman houses and many great shopping and dining opportunities.
