Whaling Museum
Museum & Art Gallery in New Bedford, MA
The Museum's 107-year history reveals an intimate relationship with the communities it serves. Motivated by civic pride and a desire to preserve the artifacts and narratives of the region, the museum was established by the kids of the progenitors of the American whaling industry. The Old Dartmouth Historical Society was set up to create and foster an interest in the history of Old Dartmouth (now the City of New Bedford, Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven and Westport, MA)
