Un/built Harvard Square: Fall 2026 Fundraiser Every street, plaza, and facade in Harvard Square tells two stories: one about what was built, and another about what was discarded, protested, or left on the drawing board.

Join History Cambridge on Thursday, October 22, 2026 , at the offices of CambridgeSeven for Un/built Harvard Square —a special fundraiser celebrating the historic, the radical, and the imagined.
