Cambridge: How it came to be our city
The Amigos 3rd graders have been learning about the history of our city. Ms. Kit Rawlins from the Cambridge Historical Commission has been showing them slides and teaching them about the history of Cambridge. She presents three lessons to the students: Settlement of Cambridge, Immigration to Cambridge, and the history of African-Americans in Cambridge. The third graders have had wonderful questions for Kit. Ask them what they’ve learned about Cambridge. Did you know Rindge Towers stands where a clay pit for a brick making factory once stood? Or that Lechmere Station used to be the site of a glass making factory and a meat packing factory? Thank you Kit for giving us a different perspective on Cambridge.
General George Washington lived in this Cambridge house for a winter.
