Mattapoisett Woman's Club to learn about Plymouth County Jail
The Mattapoisett Woman's Club next lunch include a program on the Plymouth County Jail. The meeting will take place Feb. 18.
Presenter Becky Lee, who has worked in the community outreach division of the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department for several years, will provide an historical view of the Plymouth County Jail from the days of the first English settlers in Plymouth to today’s modern facility, giving an inside look at law enforcement through the years.
Lee will also teach the group about some of the interesting characters who have spent time in the Plymouth County Jail as well as interesting laws of the area through the years. For example, in the time of the Pilgrims, smoking in an outhouse was against the law.
The lunch will be held in Reynard Hall at the Mattapoisett Congregational Church, 27 Church St. For more information, reservations or directions, call Barb Van Inwegen at 508 864-5213.
