Free historical museum about the founding of Massachusetts by settlers and the Revolutionary War. One level - about 1 hour to see. Across from JFK Library on UMass-Boston campus. Free shuttle (Paul Revere Route 1) from JFK/UMass Red Line station. Worth visiting if you have time.

Very convenient place just off of interstate 95, for charging our Tesla. First time we used this supercharger. There are 12 urban styles superchargers. There is a $3 parking fee. The adjacent mall has shopping and eating amenities. Just what we needed!

The Commonwealth Museum first landed on my radar around the time of the Big Dig. I had heard that they had an exhibit on some of the items found when excavating. Unfortunately, I never got there while that exhibit was being shown, but I assumed that they had a curator that changed out exhibits periodically. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. The exhibits that we saw seemed very static. There was such a large amount of reading that I can't imagine anyone reading it all. Perhaps the highlight was the historic documents in the furthest room.

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?
