The Tevatron's Legacy

The Tevatron, a $p{\bar{p}}$ collider operating initially at a center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV from 1988 to 1996, and at 1.96 TeV from 2001 until 2011, was a groundbreaking, innovative accelerator. It hosted two very productive collider experiments, CDF and D0. Highlights of the physics program are summarized, focusing on those measurements with impacts that last into the LHC era. Experimental techniques and results are summarized in the areas of the physics of the top quark, the electroweak gauge bosons, $B$ hadrons, charm hadrons, and QCD interactions. A selection of results from the searches for the Higgs boson and also for new particles and interactions is presented.
