The largest museum in America devoted to the history of whaling, it houses an extensive collection of art and artifacts relating to this industry during the age of sail.Through its educational programs and activities, the Museum looks to the future by engaging children, teaching that they are part of the fabric of the community, critical to its growth, and destined to be a chapter in its history. The Museum is a forum for whale and now fishing conservation, research and symposia. Its cultural outreach extends around the world, with close ties to Japan, Portugal and the Iñupiat people at the Arctic Circle. The Museum is a compelling destination that inspires all visitors to reflect on the complex issues that shaped the past, remain critical today, and inform a sustainable future.

"This house museum features the history of the three families that lived there, from the whaling days until the 1960s, so you learn about the old house itself and its rooms are decorated from the different times periods the families lived in the house, and you learn about the history of New Bedford a..."nd the neighborhood on County Street that grew up around it. Beautiful gardens in season. Beautiful decorations at Christmas time.
