Mattapoisett Woman’s Club
January 16 @ 12:30 pm - 5:00 pm
The Mattapoisett Woman’s Club invites interested new members and local residents to its January 16 program at the Mattapoisett Congregational Church in Reynard Hall, where Jennifer Smith from the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park will give a fascinating talk about the Park. Established by the US Congress in 1996, the Park commemorates the history of whaling, the working waterfront, and the Underground Railroad in the Greater New Bedford area.
The 34-acre Park, which is spread over 13 city blocks, commemorates the world’s preeminent whaling port heritage during the nineteenth century. Beyond the Park itself, it also includes the Whaling Museum, the Seamen’s Bethel, the schooner Ernestina, and the Rotch Jones Duff house.
Come gain new historical knowledge about our area while meeting and socializing with a welcoming group. The public is welcome to attend this program, which will begin at 12:45 pm at the Mattapoisett Congregational Church in Reynard Hall.
The Mattapoisett Woman’s Club is a civic, social, educational, philanthropic, and community outreach organization. Membership is always open to local women who are interested in the organization’s mission and goals. For more information, please contact info@mattapoisettwomansclub.org.
