Explore New Bedford with the NPS as your guide

In 2021, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park celebrates 25 years of interpretation, preservation, and partnerships, which makes it one of the gems of the National Park Service. In conjunction with the 25th anniversary and DATMA’s Water 2021 series, park rangers have created a unique walking tour for visitors to enjoy the park. These tours will explore our City’s deep connection to water and the many stories that define that connection. Guests are invited to meet a ranger at Tonnessen Park, between the Wharfinger Building and the ferry drop-off along the working waterfront on MacArthur Drive. The group will also walk with one of DATMA’s featured photographers, Phil Mello of New Bedford. To learn more about the NPS, visit https://www.nps.gov/nebe/planyourvisit/guided-tours.htm
