MATTAPOISETT An event 50 years in the making.
At the end of the Mattapoisett Lions Club’s Harbor Days festivities on July 17, King Lion Ross Kessler opened up a time capsule left under the Shipyard Park gazebo in 1971.
The capsule was left at the dedication of the gazebo 50 years ago and before the opening, no one knew what awaited.
