Cambridge Common, Public historic district in Cambridge, United States.
Cambridge Common spans multiple acres at the intersection of Garden Street and Massachusetts Avenue, featuring green spaces, monuments, and walking paths.
The Continental Army used this location as a training ground in 1775, preparing soldiers for engagements against British forces during the American Revolution.
The site contains several monuments including a Civil War memorial, Revolutionary War cannons, and a tribute to victims of the Irish Famine.
The Common offers benches, playground equipment, trash receptacles, and connections to public transit, with entrances from Massachusetts Avenue and Garden Street.
Three historic cannons within the Common commemorate Revolutionary War figures: General Henry Knox, General George Washington, and Brigadier General Tadeusz Kościuszko.
