Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

One of my maternal great-grand fathers was John Rogers.  He was born January 11, 1630, in Coggeshall, Essex, England, and died July 12, 1684 (aged 54) in Massachusetts.  He became the fifth President of Harvard and served that office from 1682 until 1684.  On this day, I wanted to view his burial place and walk around the campus of Harvard.

The burial ground is located adjacent to this church.  However, there was no affiliation between the two.  The church was built later.

Main entrance to Harvard University.

I enjoyed this day very much.  I had hoped to one day visit this historical University and walk in the footsteps of an ancestor that was smarter than me!
