7:30 PM at Acoaxet Chapel
26 Howland Road, Westport Harbor
This program will explore the history of the Acoaxet Chapel, located at Westport Harbor. The Acoaxet Chapel was built by private donations in 1872 and since there was no place for worship at the Harbor, the chapel was to be for the free use of all denominations.
Reverend Robert Hollis and others will present pictures, artifacts and stories about the chapel and life at the Harbor. Please note that this program will be held at the Acoaxet Chapel.
Admission is free, but donations will be gladly accepted. Refreshments will be provided. Please call 508-636-6011 for reservations.
