About the New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center:
The New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center is dedicated to telling the story of the fishing industry past, present, and future through exhibits, programs, and archives.
The Center is located at 38 Bethel Street in the heart of New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. The 3,000 square foot, handicap accessible space accommodates changing exhibits, public programs, school groups, archives, and community gatherings.
“The commercial fishing community deserves a place to preserve and present its stories and artifacts, share its skills and knowledge, and educate the public about its rich traditions, heritage, and contemporary existence. We are excited to provide that opportunity.” Executive Director, Laura Orleans.
