Only 3.99 great price and you can make stops along the way unlike with a large tour group. i highly recommend the The Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments at the Putnam Gallery.

Oh my goodness! You did an amazing job. I went to Harvard in 1997. A few of these stories were familiar to me. This app's creator must be Harvard alumini. All of the structures in the Harvard Yard have interesting stories to tell. Overall, it's a fantastic app.
