Take
a stroll “Beyond the Yard” into Old Cambridge, the richly historic and
surprisingly funky neighborhood along Brattle Street and the Charles
River..
What is a Pallisadoe? Where did the revolutionaries leave their
musket marks? How to discern different soul effigies? What does Phillip
Johnson’s bachelor pad look like? Why is Brother Blue talking jazz?
This tour is a collage of voices: an etymologist monk, a street
poet, an architecture historian, a park ranger, a placemaker, a folk
singer, and many others strung together by the melodic ruminations of
Meghan Day, recent Harvard Grad and Let’s Go writer. The tour
features notable highlights such as the Longfellow National Historic
Site, Cambridge Burying Ground, Christ Church, and JFK Park.
Approximate Walking Time: 60 minutes (short version) or 80 minutes (long version)
Prime Walking Hours: 9am-5pm. Longfellow house open in the summertime.
