The Mattapoisett Historical Society will open its doors free of charge to all Museum Day ticketholders on Saturday, September 22from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm as part of Smithsonian magazine’s 14th annual Museum Day, a national celebration of boundless curiosity in which participating museums emulate the free admission policy at the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington DC-based museums.
Museum Day represents a nationwide commitment to access, equity, and inclusion. Over 250,000 people downloaded tickets for last year’s event, and Museum Day 2018 is expected to attract more museumgoers than ever before.
The Mattapoisett Historical Society’s current exhibit, Mattapoisett’s Movers and Shakers: A Selection of Creative, Innovative, and Influential People, highlights some of Mattapoisett’s creative and talented people and the impact they made.
Museum Day tickets are available for download at Smithsonian.com/MuseumDay. Visitors who present a Museum Day ticket will gain free entrance for two at participating venues on September 22. One ticket is permitted per email address. A list of participating museums, which will be continually updated as more museums continue to register, can be found at Smithsonian.com/MuseumDay/Search.
