This free annual event, hosted by the Cambridge Historical Commission, invites you to explore the rich history of our city with the help of archivists from multiple repositories across the city.

The archivist from Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters NHS will join colleagues from other Cambridge archives at Joan Lorentz Park, outside the Main Branch Library, to share facsimiles from the collection showing the evolution of the cultural landscape at and around 105 Brattle Street.  Drop by for crafts, conversations, and a peek behind the archival curtain.

With activities and engaging exhibits for all ages, it’s a day of fun for the whole family!
