Presentazione generale
New Bedford and Fall River
Two industrial ports in southern Massachusetts, between whale history, textiles and naval heritage.
To understand what New Bedford and Fall River are, you need to look at New Bedford Whaling Museum, Battleship Cove and Fort Taber Park. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, the coastline and the heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Major site
New Bedford Whaling Museum
The New Bedford Whaling Museum the whaler harbour was brought up to a time when its wharfs structured the local economy. Skeletons of marine animals, models and ship's archives read better in front of the old docks, transforming objects into physical testimonies of life at sea.
Culture and heritage
Battleship Cove
Battleship Cove line up several restored military buildings on the shore, with the USS Massachusetts battleship in the centre. Assembling on board avoids the impression of a distant museum: passing a bridge to a command room immediately gives the logic of a space of service, navigation and memory.
Culture and heritage
Fort Taber Park
Fort Taber Park Surrounds an ancient 19th-century granite fort with coastal batteries that tell the evolution of coastal defences. The marine promenade features the park as a landscape observatory on Buzzards Bay, while the historic route remains concentrated and very legible.
Culture and heritage
Lizzie Borden House
The Lizzie Borden house keeps the pieces related to the drama that has crossed the American imagination, but its strength lies in its domestic staging: narrow corridors, furniture and daily uses. The guided tour turns the case into a precise observation of family routines rather than a sensational narrative.
