Harvard, or as they call it here, Hahvahd, is the oldest college in America. Lots of important people went to college here, like presidents (John Adams, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR), authors (Henry Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson), and people who are famous for other reasons (Matt Damon...although he only lasted 2 years).
The Boston Public Library is the oldest free, public library in the country. Here I am checking out the seal.
Lots of famous patriots lived in Boston. They died there too. Here's one of them...Sam Adams. He has a beer named after him now, so he must have been very important.
This is the church were Paul Revere saw the famous lanterns that told him "the British are coming!" After that, I am told that he got on his horse and rode off into the countryside. I guess he was pretty scared.
