There are so many permanent exhibits at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, you’re bound to find a room with something of interest to you!
“The New Bedford Whaling Museum was originally opened in 1903 to house and display artifacts relevant to the whaling industry. Governed by the Old Dartmouth Historical Society, the museum collection contains more than 750,000 items, including 3,000 pieces of scrimshaw and 2,500 logbooks, both of which are the largest collections in the world” according to information on their site and the National Park Service site.
We’ll travel off-Cape to the museum by coach departing from the Brewster Baptist Church at 8:30 AM. Parking in the back lot nearest to the Brewster Ladies Library is free. We’ll return from our enjoyable trip between 2:30 to 3 PM.
The trip includes museum admission, a guided tour plus additional time to visit the rest of the museum, and the gift shop, too. You’ll also have time to explore the surrounding scenic New Bedford. Lunch is on your own, and we’ll have a list of nearby restaurants that we’ll share on the bus. Avoid the traffic and join us for an interesting day!
