Neighborhood highlights

Situated in the southern New England & the heart of South Eastern Mass on the shores of beautiful buzzards bay , the historic city of New Bedford is 58 miles (96 km) south of Boston, Massachusetts, 31 miles (56 km) east of Providence, Rhode Island, 28 miles (48 km) west of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and just a ferry or plane ride away from Martha’s Vineyard, & Nantucket.

In 1841, the author Herman Melville shipped out from New Bedford which inspired him to write the infamous Moby-Dick, describing the opulence and courage of the city. A famous old whaling port, New Bedford continues to earn its living and pride from the sea. Today, New Bedford is America’s #1 fishing port with a large fishing fleet, spoiling visitors and locals alike with fresh seafood at one of the many restaurants.

In the days of anti-slavery agitation, the people of New Bedford showed a practical sympathy for fugitive slaves. The town was noted as one of the major “stations” of the “Underground Railroad,” which was not a railroad at all, but merely an undercover system, to provide refuge for fugitives. The most famous fugitive to settle in New Bedford was Frederick Douglass, noted abolitionist orator and leader, who lived here from 1838 to 1841. Abolitionist, Lewis Temple, opened a blacksmithing shop, which primarily serviced the whaling fleet. In 1848, Temple invented the toggle-head harpoon, which revolutionized the whaling industry.

Whether you’re a history buff or just looking to spend the day at sea, New Bedford offers a variety of attractions and activities to suit all interests. From the largest museum in America devoted to the whaling industry, one of the finest smaller Zoos in America, to the first free home of Frederick Douglass, New Bedford’s museums and attractions are sure to inspire, intrigue and delight.
