New Bedford owes its era of greatest prosperity, 1825 to 1925, to the founding Quaker families. They moved their whaleships and related business interests from Nantucket America's first whaling center to New Bedford's deeper port on the mainland.
This is one of the largest museums devoted to the history of whales and whaling.
Springfield Armory - From its position at the crest of a hill overlooking the Connecticut River, Springfield Armory exerted a profound influence over the city of Springfield and the nation. It carried out the manufacturing, storage, repair and testing and development functions assigned by the US Army. Springfield citizens worked at the "Arsenal of Freedom" for 174 years to provide our military with the best infantry weapons necessary to safeguard the nation and its interests.
