Children ages 4 to 6 are welcome at the Mattapoisett Historical Society this summer to explore life in coastal Massachusetts through the years. The five part series is on Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Program dates are, July 11, 18, and 25 and Aug. 1 and 8.

Little Explorers will examine a different topic each week. Each hour-long program includes games and activities.  Registration is encouraged due to limited space.

This program is free thanks to a grant from the Mattapoisett Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Donations are welcome. Parents must stay at the museum during the programs. The series takes place at the Mattapoisett Historical Society, 5 Church St.  For more information or to register, call 508-758-2844 or email matapoisett.museum@verizon.net.
