This autumn the Mattapoisett Museum at 5 Church St. is extending its hours through September and October. The Museum will be open to visitors on Thursdays by appointment, and on Friday and Saturday from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. Directions to the Museum are posted on their website at mattapoisettmuseum.org as well as upcoming events.
The Museum’s latest exhibit, Mattapoisett: Now and Then, will be on display. Featuring historic photos, ephemera and artifacts of Mattapoisett landmarks and businesses, juxtaposed with modern day images, the exhibit will offer visitors the opportunity to see the landscape as it was in generations past and today in the present. For those who have lived in Mattapoisett for generations, this exhibit will evoke wonderful memories of “I remember that.” For newcomers, the exhibit will build an understanding of Mattapoisett’s history and show how it has changed to the present.
