Washington-Longfellow National Historic Site

September 16, 2015

In Cambridge we found a parking spot right out in front of the Washington-Longfellow Home.  This house has a rich history.  George Washington used the house as his headquarters during the Revolutionary War.  Later, Longfellow lived there, where he raised his family and wrote his most famous works.  We missed the regularly-scheduled tour, but Amy, one of the park rangers, gave us a tour of the first floor only.  It’s a very special house and the gardens are also well-designed.
