This self-guided tour through time explores the days of the town's incorporation through the late 20th century and the lives of Founding Fathers Simon Stone and Peter Atherton, the slave Othello, black Civil War soldier William Henry Hall, stone cutter Isaac Stone, philanthropist Margaret Blanchard, and adventurer William Savage. Each of these former residents pursued their dream of creating a better world for their children and each contributed to making Harvard a better place today. Whether you are guided by our website, harvardhistory.org/events, or follow our guide booklet, this tour is fun for all ages.
