Visitor Center hours are Wednesday – Sunday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Monday and Tuesday: Closed). Please check park hours at https://www.nps.gov/nebe or call (508) 996-4095. The Visitor Center is free.

Inside the gallery, lantern light and metallic prints respond directly to the viewer's movement, referencing New Bedford’s legacy as "the city that lit […]
