Perkins and Laura Bridgman0.7 mi
The first school for the blind in the country, where Samuel Gridley Howe taught Laura Bridgman, deaf and blind from age two, to read and write, forty years before Helen Keller.
Fresh Pond, where Boston's ice trade cut its blocks1.9 mi
Frederic Tudor worked out how to saw lake ice into blocks, pack it in sawdust and sell it in places that had never seen any, and Fresh Pond was one of the ponds his crews harvested.

The Georgian house went up around 1767 for Thomas Oliver, the royal lieutenant governor, who lost it when the Revolution arrived.
The Hooper-Lee-Nichols House, second oldest in Cambridge2.5 mi
Built in 1685 and rebuilt so many times that its frame reads like a stack of centuries, the house at 159 Brattle Street is the oldest in Cambridge but one.
