Description

After a long hiatus, we are reopening the park Visitor Center and MakerSpace!

Starting June 30th, park staff and volunteers will be on duty ready to help you plan your visit to the national historical park and the City of New Bedford Wednesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. The facilities will be closed Monday and Tuesday.

Please note that wearing masks are required regardless of your vaccination status in the building. Thank you for helping to keep yourself and others safe and healthy.

We look forward to meeting you and helping you start your journey through the City that Lit the World and that Frederick Douglass once remarked about, “It was to me the starting-point of a new existence.” Herman Melville wrote about our lovely community by the sea, “The town itself is perhaps the dearest place to live in, in all New England … nowhere in all America will you find more patrician-like houses, parks and gardens more opulent, than in New Bedford.”
