The most ornate house in Stratford. Harvard House is a fine example of an Elizabethan town house, containing many architectural features. Rebuilt in 1596, it was the home of Katherine
Rogers, mother of John Harvard, founder of Harvard University. It was presented in 1910 to Harvard University by Edward Morris, a famous Chicago millionaire. The setting is perfect for
the nationally important Neish Collection of Pewter which ranges from Roman times to the 19th century. Cared for by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust on behalf of Harvard University
