  • La Antigua y Honorable Compañía de Artillería de Massachusetts es la más vieja organización militar en América del Norte y la decimonovena organización militar más vieja en el mundo.​​ Su carta fue concedida en marzo de 1638 por el Gran Tribunal General de la Bahía de Massachusetts y firmado por el Gobernador John Winthrop como una compañía de milicia voluntaria para capacitar a los oficiales matriculados en las compañías de milicias locales en Massachusetts. Con la profesionalización de los militares estadounidenses antes de la Primera Guerra Mundial, incluyendo la creación de la Guardia Nacional de los Estados Unidos y la federalización del entrenamiento de oficiales, la misión de la Compañía cambió a un papel de apoyo en la preservación de las tradiciones históricas y patrióticas de Boston, y la Nación.​ Hoy la Compañía sirve tan Guardia de Honor al Gobernador de Massachusetts quién es también su Comandante en Jefe.
