Cambridge Things to Do: 84 reviews and 142 photos
Although it is much smaller and perhaps less popular and attractive than its Boston counterpart, Cambridge Common does have at least one interesting feature: from 1775 to 1776, it was the site of General George Washington's main military camp and according to legend, he took command of the Continental army under an elm tree that grew on Cambridge Common. Although the tree no longer exists, a new one was planted near a stone that commemorates the event.
Directions: Between Garden St. and Mass Ave., just a short walk away from Harvard Square
