New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park

Join Park Volunteer Bob for an immersive Underground Railroad Walking Tour, where you’ll uncover the hidden stories of those who defied oppression and carved a new future for themselves. The Underground Railroad—a courageous network of people from all walks of life—was a lifeline for enslaved individuals seeking liberty. Guided by resilience and hope, they journeyed to safe havens from Philadelphia to Canada, breaking the chains of bondage and reclaiming their right to determine their own lives. New Bedford stood as a beacon of promise, a city where the whaling industry provided refuge and opportunity for formerly enslaved people. Here, they built families, businesses, and futures free from the grip of enslavers. Their fight for justice echoes through time, influencing movements that continue to challenge racial injustice today. Walk their footsteps. Hear their stories. Feel their struggle and triumph. Be part of a living history experience that connects past and present in a powerful way Tour details are subject to change
