There are many buildings within the boundaries of New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park that have ties to the whaling industry. If you take the New Bedford Historic District Walking Tour you will pass some of the more notable ones. A few are open to the public as museum houses, while others are now retail shops, restaurants, and offices.
The following is a quick reference of all the buildings that are along the walking tour route and a link to more information about each of them:
