Many of the historic Massachusetts inventions and firsts are household staples that were created out of necessity, or in some cases even by accident. Others were in development for years at some of the most prestigious and well-respected colleges and institutions.
As a lifelong Bay State resident, I was surprised to learn that some of these items were invented right here in my home state.
