Gov. Healey unveiled a new photography display featuring archival film images of the Statehouse from the 1920s to 1940s, alongside equivalent modern-day film photographs.

“The Massachusetts Statehouse has a storied, revolutionary history – from Sam Adams and Paul Revere laying the first cornerstone in 1795, to President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 address ahead of his inauguration, to Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1965 address at the height of the Civil Rights Movement,” said Gov. Healey. “I’m thrilled to unveil this photography project, led by some of our most talented young people, which reminds us all of our obligation to honor the legacy of this incredible building while also striving to continue to deliver history-making progress for our residents.”
