Mattapoisett Museum

Mattapoisett Museum Mattapoisett Museum is a vibrant place of learning and community activities for all. Come visit us and let life in historic Mattapoisett come alive for you!

The Mattapoisett Museum is dedicated to the preservation of significant artifacts from Mattapoisett’s past, demonstrating 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 250-year-old carriage house. The ancient pews, graceful galleries, and post and beam construction in the carriage house carry one back to when life re

volved around daily work, church, town meetings, and the waterfront. Mattapoisett Museum is always free for members.
