Call no.: PH 043 Special Collections and University Archives UMass Amherst Libraries 154 Hicks Way : Amherst, Mass. 01003-9275 413.545.2780 Jump to: Scope Inventory Other information Background on Massachusetts Governmental Activities Exposition To celebrate its tercentenary in 1930, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts organized over two thousand events in 253 communities, drawing over eleven million visitors. One of the most elaborate of these events was the Exposition of Governmental Activities held at the Commonwealth Armory in Boston between September 29 and October 11. A celebration more of contemporary governmental activity than the historical precedents, the exposition featured displays representing nearly every branch of government, from the Department of Education to the state police, mental and public health, public welfare, transportation, agriculture, labor, and industry.
