NEW BEDFORD — You can tell the story of New Bedford through the voices of the immigrants who settled this fishing and whaling city hard against Buzzards Bay and the tidal estuary of the Acushnet River on Massachusetts’ South Coast.
The history is written into every sidewalk, every building and every face. It breathes in from the brick cobblestones in the historic district and exhales in the scrappy and steady streets just a few blocks over.
