CITY HALL
133 William St.
(508) 979-1400

Built in 1857, the building that now houses New Bedford’s City Hall was originally intended primarily to serve as the city’s library. City Hall at that time was the granite building located directly across William St. In 1910, however, the two structures switched uses. The library moved across the street to its present location and municipal offices were centralized at 133 William St. Two features are especially worth noting. The large sculptured pediment over the main entrance features the city seal and motto (“Lucem diffundo — I spread light”) surrounded by symbols of the city’s economic history: whaling, textiles and transportation. Inside, a unique semicircular elevator installed in 1906 is the oldest working elevator in the United States. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

CUSTOM HOUSE
Corner of Second St. and William St.
(508) 994-5158

This granite Greek Revival building has served as New Bedford’s Custom House since 1836, making it the oldest Custom House in continuous operation in the United States. During the heyday of the whaling era, it serviced the nation’s fourth largest seaport. Only New York, Boston and New Orleans registered more tonnage than the combined whaling and merchant fleets of New Bedford and its nearby ports.

FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY: WHALEMAN'S STATUE & LEWIS TEMPLE STATUE
613 Pleasant St.
(508) 991-6275

Housing extensive records of whaling journeys, captains' logs, a vast 19th Century art collection, historical and genealogical records, the Library is a treasury of resources to local and international researchers. Across the street from City Hall, it is readily identified by the Whaleman's Statue and the statue of harpoon-maker Lewis Temple flanking the magnificent Greek Revival entrance.

NATHAN AND MARY JOHNSON HOUSE
21 Seventh St.

Among the best known black activists of the 1800's the Johnsons sheltered Frederick Douglass and his wife, Anna, who fled north from slavery in 1838. www.newbedfordhistory.org Email: nbhistory@aol.com

It is home to the world’s largest whaling museum, the Seaman’s Bethel (setting of chapters 7, 8, 9 in Moby-Dick) and numerous fine shops, galleries and restaurants.

SCHOONER ERNESTINA COMMISSION OFFICES AND MUSEUM
South side of the State Pier
(508) 992-4900

The 114-year-old ERNESTINA, built in Essex, MA, and home ported in New Bedford, is the official sailing vessel of the Commonwealth of MA, a National Historic Landmark and a part of New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. Her career includes service as a Grand Banks fishing schooner; an Arctic exploration vessel that came within 578 miles of the North Pole (a record that still stands for a sailing vessel); a U.S. Naval vessel in World War II; a Cape Verde packet (the last sailing vessel in regular service to bring immigrants to this country); and most recently a sail training, marine environmental, and cross-cultural education vessel. www.ernestina.org

SEAMEN'S BETHEL
18 Johnny Cake Hill
(508) 992-3295

Across from the Whaling Museum, the Bethel, or Whaleman’s Chapel, was built in 1832. It was the setting for the famous chapter in Moby Dick in which Father Mapple preaches his sermon on Jonah and the Whale. Mon - Sat, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM; Sun, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM (April - Oct.) An active church open to the public when possible.

54th REGIMENT MASS. VOLUNTARY INFANTRY PLAZA
Corner of William St. & Acushnet Ave.

On February 10, 1863, after President Lincoln’s order to enlist regiments of black soldiers to fight in the Civil War, a recruiting office was opened near this spot. The men who volunteered formed Company C of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. Later recruits were mustered into the 55th Regiment, 5th Cavalry and U.S. Navy. On July 18, 1863, the 54th Regiment took part in the attack on Fort Wagner, South Carolina. Their bravery in that battle did much to silence those who had doubted the military qualities of the black soldier. One of those wounded in that battle was New Bedford’s Sgt. William H. Carney, who later became the nation’s first black Congressional Medal of Honor winner.
