Why Live in New Bedford

New Bedford's rich maritime heritage comes alive at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, America's largest whaling museum, where visitors can explore the half-scale whaling ship Lagoda and extensive exhibits. The cobblestone streets of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park transport residents back to the city's seafaring past, while the waterfront buzzes with one of the nation's top-earning commercial fishing ports. Cultural attractions include the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center, which hosts diverse performances, and monthly AHA! nights showcase free arts and cultural events throughout the historic downtown.
