Born in Cambridge Tours – West Cambridge

In Born in Cambridge: 400 Years of Ideas and Innovators, authors Karen Weintraub and Michael Kuchta explore how Cambridge’s history mirrors the larger story of America. The city has long been a center of invention, reinvention, and adaptation, playing a key role in shaping both the nation and the world. Its rich history of innovation before and after the Revolutionary War offers a powerful lens for understanding how the city continues to embody revolutionary ideals. In this series of neighborhood tours, Weintraub and Kuchta will delve into the people, places, and events that have made Cambridge a hub for creativity and progress. From its foundation as a center of higher learning to its ongoing commitment to the common good, Cambridge’s “secret sauce” lies in its combination of visionary leadership, diverse population, and a spirit of innovation that has kept it at the forefront of new ideas for centuries.
