Harvard House


One of the few attractions in Stratford-upon-Avon not related to William Shakespeare, Harvard House is of particular interest to American visitors to the town.

This is because this house is the ancestral home of John Harvard, founder of America's most famous University. John's mother, Catherine Rogers, grew up here, although John himself grew up in Southwark.

In 1909 the house was bought by a wealthy American businessman who then gave it to Harvard University, who still own it today.

Harvard House is located on the High Street, just to the north of Nash's House and New Place.

The house is open daily between May and September, but opening hours vary so do check in advance. Admission costs around £1.50 for adults.
