Cambridge Common

- Cambridge
Cambridge Common combines a major public green with monuments and Revolutionary-era historical associations near Harvard Square.
Paths and trees make it useful both as an everyday city park and as a stop on a wider history walk.
Use public paths and current city information for any work or organized events affecting the grounds. The photograph focuses on a commemorative monument rather than the whole park or a current reenactment. Its position near busy streets makes designated crossings the practical way to connect with Harvard Square and neighboring historic sites.
