A team from Chronicle, a show that broadcasts stories of New England weekdays at 7:30 on channel 5, visited Harvard for a segment on Massachusetts towns that have names of colleges but no actual college located in them. (Besides Harvard, there are Princeton and Dartmouth.) They took pictures of “interesting and beautiful” spots around town, and the Historical Society was one of them, both the exterior and interior.

The segment aired on Thursday, October 3 at 7:30 PM EST on WCVB ABC TV
