SUMMARY:Historic Homes Walking Tour with New Bedford Free Public Library
DESCRIPTION:2 TOURS: 10:00am & 3:00pm \nSaturday August 27th\nNew Bedford Free Public Library\, 613 Pleasant Street\n \nJoin the Art Curator of the New Bedford Free Public library on a walking tour of downtown New Bedford looking at the locations of houses featured in Historic Homes of New Bedford\, the exhibit now on view in the library.
