JOIN THE

BOARD

We have a very important mission here at Mattapoisett Museum: To educate and enlighten the minds of our visitors and to encourage curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. We believe in educating the community and passing on the joy we carry for our work. However, our work is never complete—we need fresh ideas and dedicated volunteers to devote time and creative thinking to make the museum the best that it can be. If that is you, send us a message.
