The Commonwealth Museum is located on Morrisey Boulevard in Dorchester and is a hub of our state's history. The museum has both online and live exhibits, with the current feature being: Our Common Wealth: The Massachusetts Expreiment in Democracy 1620-Present
The exhibit traces the Massachusetts experience through the colonial, revolutionary, federal, and nineteenth century reform periods. The sub-theme, “Tracing our Roots,” tells the story of four representative Massachusetts families of Native American, English, African-American and Irish heritage.
