or Waltham accommodation? Waltham is part of the Greater Boston area in Massachusetts, around 16 kilometers northwest of downtown Boston. It played a major role during the Industrial Revolution. Its location along the Charles River helped spur economic achievements for Waltham.
One of the pioneer industries that is truly Waltham-made is the Waltham Watch Company, hence the nickname “Watch City”. Established in 1854, the company was a prime producer of watches and clocks amounting to about 40 million until 1957. To know more about this historic milestone and other feats, include Waltham Museum in the itinerary for one-of-a-kind watch memorabilia and artifacts about the other industries born in Waltham. More local history can be learned at the Charles River Museum of Industry, which is an old textile mill back in the 1800s.
Waltham is a university town, being home to the sprawling campuses of Bentley College and Brandeis University. Both institutions have extensive liberal arts programs that support the city’s thrust in culture and the arts.
For a taste of the historic houses in Waltham, take note of Gore Place and Lyman Estate. The latter, also known as Vale, houses majestic grounds with English gardens and greenhouses that sell fruits and plants to visitors. Gore Place was the former home of the famed governor back in the 1800s. The 45-acre estate has well-kept gardens, opulent architecture and farms offering animal encounters for children and adults alike. - Browse the Waltham Map or compare Waltham accommodation from Hotels, Motels, B&Bs,
