Harvard college events in Bridgewater, Massachusetts

Hunt Hall, located at 26 School Street in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, is a university institution that pays tribute to a local public health hero, Dr. Hunt. Dr. Hunt, who served as chairman of the Town of Bridgewater's Board of Health from 1910 to 1955, led the town's response during the 1918 pandemic and a smallpox outbreak in nearby Middleboro. A graduate of Brown University and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Hunt was known for his kindness and dedication to serving the community. The building, which was originally named after Dr. Hunt as an elementary school, now houses art and music classrooms, offices, as well as the Parking Services and Connect Card Office for the university. Hunt Hall serves as a reminder of the important role that public health officials play in our healthcare system.
