Top landmarks in New Bedford

Rich in history, a fantastic place to spend the day. I think they close fairly early but the second Thursday of every month is called Aha! Thursday and a lot of New Bedford is opened late, with discounts offered or even free. On Aha! Thursday, the Whaling Museum is opened till 8pm and is free. No excuse to miss it then!
