New Bedford Whaling Museum

Thanks to the Smithsonian Museum Day  and the town of New Bedford promoting tourism by not charging for parking on weekends, we got to visit the New Bedford Whaling Museum for just the cost of gas - which was less than an a 1/4 of a tank!!! Gotta love a deal like that!

I had been to this museum in elementary school and it is actually one of the only field trips that I remember from school - ironically the other was to the New England Aquarium, guess I had teachers that liked marine biology! 

We had a great time and learned a lot about our local and cultural history, along with the seeing some incredible art work and enjoying this historic downtown area.


 







My favorite was the 18th Century Peep-Show ~~~ which is not what you might think!!! 

When you look in you see....

Hi - Thanks for wanting to share your ideas & comments! I love hearing what others have to say, but just so that everyone is aware, I have the right and option to decide to post a comment or not. Foul language, inappropriate comments, lashing out at the world, or posting irrelevant ad links are a few reasons why posts may be rejected. My daughter & her friends like to frequently see what is being posted so therefore I would like to keep it clean.
I also have a tendency to reject "Anonymous" posts as I feel the content is not verifiable, therefore is often either irrelevant or not viable.
If your comment has been accepted - it will generally appear in less than 24 hours! Thanks Gina
