"Nearby is New Bedford Friends Meeting, 1822, open Sunday mornings. The immediate area has a history of how interracial cooperation first came to exist on a continent where black people were elsewhere imported like sardines for intergenerational slavery."
"Had the pleasure of working with a film crew to shoot a short film; "Sweet Freedom" at this location and it was so cool to be inside a part of history so important and to tell a story so equally important. It was an honor!"
"New Frederick Douglass statue at Abolition Row Park. It's a new park too! This historic district in New Bedford is open to the public. Looks like a good venue for speeches, stop on a tour, and other ceremony events."
"A must see cultural artifact"
"It was open for an aha! Night and my friends and I were glad to go bc the national park rangers did a great job on explaining everything. Kind of a museum and history kind of thing and nothing to interact with but still really cool and informative"
