Thompson Island is a 204-acre island 25 minutes from downtown Boston in the Boston Harbor Islands National park area. With outstanding views of Boston's skyline and Boston Harbor, the islands varied landscape with meadows, beaches, salt marshes, woodlands, and fields offers a rural setting juxtaposed to the cityscape of Boston. An educational institution has occupied the hill on Thompson Island since 1832. Today the school campus, Federalist-Georgian style architecture, is reminiscent of Harvard’s quads.
