Cambridge has become world famous among glass collectors as being the location for the Cambridge Glass, Boyd Glass and Mosser Glass plants. Hence, the city is home to the National Museum of Cambridge Glass, which houses vintage glass and a microcosm of Cambridge history at the same time. Cambridge is also famous for its "S" shaped bridges, dating back to the building of the National Road in 1828. The bridge’s alignment follows a reverse curve, shaped roughly like a shallow letter S.
