Join us for a private two-hour tour of the Cambridge Innovation Trail led by Cambridge Historical Tours on Saturday, October 28th at 10am.

The Innovation Trail focuses primarily on what happened after the American Revolution, and after some of Boston’s early schools like Boston Latin (founded in 1635) and Harvard (founded in 1636) were established. Independence and access to education began to build a foundation for innovation—as did societal changes like the abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, waves of immigration, and marriage equality—allowing a diverse group of people to collaborate on research and company formation. 89iAdd in a desire to make the world better, and money from investors, universities, and government agencies to set up labs and run experiments—and voila, you get a thriving innovation ecosystem that has helped shape the modern world. The Innovation Trail is a way to experience, learn about, and be inspired by four centuries of world-changing breakthroughs right in our own backyard! It highlights advancements in science, technology, and medicine - innovations like surgical anesthesia, the telephone, instant photography, the moon landing, and decoding the genome.
