Mission Statement

The Mattapoisett Museum is a vibrant place of learning and community activities. ​ We collaborate and partner with surrounding communities to provide a place of learning and sharing. ​ We collect, maintain and make available for use cultural and historical materials relating to Mattapoisett's heritage. ​ We create a welcoming place for all people of all ages.

Description

The Mattapoisett Museum is dedicated to the preservation of significant artifacts from Mattapoisett’s past which demonstrate the life and culture of this old New England town.

We are housed in a charming 1821 Meeting House with an attached replica of a 200 year old carriage house. The ancient pews, graceful galleries, and post and beam construction in the carriage house carry one back to when life revolved around daily work, church, town meeting and the waterfront.

Come visit us and let life in historic Mattapoisett come alive for you!
