SUPPLEMENT TO THE 
FIDELITY MASSACHUSETTS TAX-FREE FUNDS
PROSPECTUS
DATED MARCH 17, 1995
   On February 20, 1996 the funds' names changed from Fidelity
Massachusetts Tax-Free Money Market Portfolio and Fidelity Massachusetts
Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio to Fidelity Massachusetts Municipal Money
Market Fund and Fidelity Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund,
respectively.    
The following information replaces the similar information found in the
Charter section beginning on page 10.
Steve Harvey is manager of Massachusetts Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio,
which he has managed since August, 1995.  Mr. Harvey also manages Minnesota
Tax-Free, Ohio Tax-Free High Yield, Spartan Maryland Municipal Income, and
Spartan Pennsylvania Municipal High Yield. Previously, he was an analyst
following tax-free bonds. Mr. Harvey joined Fidelity in 1986.
   The following replaces the similar information regarding Fidelity
Massachusetts Income Fund (formerly Fidelity Massachusetts Tax-Free High
Yield Portfolio) found in the "Investment Principals and Risks" section
beginning on page 11.
Although the fund can invest in securities of any maturity, FMR seeks to
manage the fund so that it generally reacts to changes in interest rates
similarly to municipal bonds with maturities between 8 and 18 years.
If you are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, you should note
that the fund may invest all of its assets in municipal securities issued
to finance private activities. The interest from these investments is a
tax-preference item for purposes of the tax.    
The following replaces the wire instructions found in the "How to Buy
Shares" table on page 23.

   The following replaces the similar information found in the "Taxes"
section on page 27.
The interest from some municipal securities is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax. The funds may invest up to 100% of their assets in
these securities. Individuals who are subject to the tax must report this
interest on their tax returns.    
The following supplements the information found in the paragraph that
begins "When you place an order to buy shares" on page 28.
(small solid bullet) Purchases to the money market fund processed at 10:00
a.m. Eastern time will earn the dividend for that day; purchases processed
at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will earn dividends the following business day.
The following supplements the information found in the paragraph that
begins "When you place an order to sell shares" on page 29.
(small solid bullet) If your money market fund wire redemption request is
processed at the 10:00 a.m. Eastern time NAV, federal funds will be wired
to your bank that day and you will not earn that day's dividends.
