Traditional Gifts from the Governor to the Governor-Elect
Wednesday January 7, 2014 - The traditional gifts that will be presented from Governor Patrick to Governor-Elect Baker: The Pewter Key: The ceremonial original pewter key to the Governor’s office door. The Butler Bible: Left by Governor Benjamin Butler to his successors in 1884, since he found no Bible in the office previously. The Governor’s Gavel: Made from the white oak frame of the original U.S.S. Constitution and accepted as the “permanent official gavel” of the Governor’s Council in 1906. Massachusetts General Statutes: Two volumes, which date back to 1860. The outgoing Governor traditionally inscribes a message to his or her successor in this text.
