Vernal Pools201 viewsEleven-year-olds Ava Duponte (center), and Jonalisa Vieira (right), of Mattapoisett, handle what are believed to be salamander and wood frog egg masses. The children participated in an April 17 exploration of a vernal pool led by Mattapoisett Land Trust Treasurer and wildlife expert Gary Johnson (left). The exploration led a party of 10 along a muddy trail through the woods off Angelica Avenue past a forest clearing and ultimately to two vernal pools. Photo by Mick Colageo April 22, 2021

Hurricane Heights141 viewsSigns on a telephone poll alongside Mattapoisett Neck Road at the south end of the causeway at Molly’s Cove indicate flood levels that have resulted from historic storms. Looking north, one can see the marsh area that has become, along with the road itself, a topic of concern resulting in a study meant to address long-term access to and from the neck.

Retro Presto195 viewsThe August 4, 1955 cover of The Presto Press depicts the American pastime of square dancing, a weekend activity on the historic wharves located at Shipyard Park in Mattapoisett so popular that hundreds watched from the sidelines. The Mattapoisett-Fairhaven Parents Music Club used the proceeds from the opening dance that year to purchase musical instruments for the Fairhaven High School band, and square dancing inspired one local girl to become a professional square-dance caller.

Snow Spirits232 viewsMary Cabral was driving past Munro Park on her way to the Mattapoisett Town Wharf when she spotted two young children playing there in the snow. Later while walking through the park, she happened upon the result of the children’s activity, a pair of “snow spirit” sculptures. “The sculptures were so cute and seemed to be watching over the park bench that is dedicated to Ellen Flynn's parents,” wrote Cabral.
