New Bedford Historical Society

The New Bedford Historical Society, founded in 1996, is committed to preserving and celebrating the contributions of African Americans, Cape Verdeans, Native Americans, West Indians, and other people of color in the city’s rich history. One of their notable accomplishments is the preservation of the Nathan and Polly Johnson House, a key site on the Underground Railroad and the first home of Frederick Douglass. In recent years, the society has expanded its impact with projects such as Abolition Row Park, which commemorates the efforts of local abolitionists who fought for freedom and equality. The park, along with their ongoing programs, highlights New Bedford’s pivotal role in the abolitionist movement. Through educational workshops, walking tours, oral history projects, and cultural exhibitions, the society ensures that the city’s multicultural heritage continues to be shared with future generations.
