History:
The Margaret Fuller House of Cambridge was founded in 1902. As a Settlement house for over 100 years, it has provided critical information and services to immigrants to successfully assimilate into the American culture. The House, built in the early 1800's, is the birthplace of Margaret Fuller, one of the 19th. century America's most assertive feminists and compassionate humanists. Our programs and services continue to support families and youth in Area IV of Cambridge, one of the most diverse neighborhoods of Cambridge today.
