Massachusetts’ proud history is second to none. The Commonwealth Museum, at the Massachusetts Archives, displays rare national treasures, from John Winthrop’s charter for the Massachusetts Bay Colony to Paul Revere’s copper engraving plate depicting the Boston Massacre.  Learn about the museum’s "treasures gallery" and the interactive exhibits that trace the development of rights in Massachusetts.
