Visit the oldest higher education institute in America with a stop at Harvard University, home to some of the most educated students in the country. The university boasts a long history and was founded 16 years after the Pilgrims' arrival at Plymouth. In those days, nine students studied under one master. Today, more than 18,000 undergraduate & graduate students study under more than 2,000 faculty.
More than 40 Nobel Prize honorees have been Harvard faculty members, and seven United States presidents were Harvard alumni, including John Adams, John F. Kennedy and George W. Bush. Student-led tours are offered free daily as you explore famous sites on campus that include the John Harvard Statue - which is extremely popular with visitors - and the Wadsworth House, which served as a temporary headquarters for Gen. George Washington.
