Located thirty miles west of Boston; the town of Harvard was incorporated in 1732. With vintage photographs; some of which date from the 1860s; Harvard reflects on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century life; as well as the numerous political and spiritual philosophies that shaped the town. Shown are the Harvard Shaker community; the Alcotts transcendentalist commune called Fruitlands; and Clara Endicott Sears; founder of Fruitlands Museums. Nostalgic scenes from the collection of local photographer William Wright capture an era of parades and picnics and community spirit.
