Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum

Fodor's Review:

For a glimpse of upper-class life during New Bedford's whaling heyday, head ½ mi south of downtown to the Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum. This 1834 Greek-revival mansion, set amid a full city block of gardens, housed three prominent families in the 1800s and is filled with elegant furnishings from the era, including a mahogany piano, a massive marble-top sideboard, and portraits of the house's occupants. A self-guided audio tour is available.

  • Cost: $5
  • Open: Mon.-Sat. 10-4, Sun. noon-4
