Revisit our History Café from May 3rd, 2023, where we explored the history of Fort Washington Park in Cambridgeport from pre-colonization, through the Revolutionary War, and up to the present. This park is known for being the only remaining fortification from the Revolutionary War, but we also discussed the land before being colonized, as well as its various restorations in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the art that it holds today.
