Good place to visit which is underrated probably because it's free and is less well advertised than its neighbour the JFK library and museum which requires payment. I was one of around 6 people I saw during my visit of around 90 minutes. They could definitely do with better PR and be more ready to greet visitors - and having a cafe would definitely help too! The photo I've uploaded shows a anti slavery medallion "Am I Not a Man And a Brother?" originally designed by Wedgwood, Stoke-on-Trent, UK, and where I come from. Wedgwood anti slavery medallions were sent to Benjamin Franklin 1788 who was then president of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society. Maybe look into the influences the up and coming US had abroad?

A nice little museum with the Massachusetts copy of the Declaration of Independence. If you’re at UMass Boston or going to the JFK library, stop by and see their little museum.

A quick trip, if it’s on your way it’s interesting to learn about the building. The museum is small and it doesn’t take long to see everything.

Absolute five stars for the commonwealth museum. The curators and tour guides are simply the best and most patient with our third graders!
