The Mattapoisett Historical Society and Carriage House opened its doors for the holiday season on Saturday, November 24. The Historical Society is having its annual holiday shop, which features a variety of unique gifts such as historical postcard and map recreations, books, and tree ornaments. Kids will get a kick out of the Lionel model train that zooms past a village of illuminated porcelain buildings. Photos by Eric Tripoli. November 29, 2012 edition
