We look forward to meeting you and helping you start your journey in the City that Lit the World where Frederick Douglass once remarked, “From the wharves I strolled around and over the town gazing with wonder and admiration at the splendid churches, beautiful dwellings, and finely-cultivated gardens; evincing an amount of wealth, comfort, taste, and refinement.” Herman Melville wrote, “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.”
