Fort Taber Tours

Fort Taber had an important defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the spectacles its fortified walls have witnessed.

This history-filled fortress in New Bedford is popular with many travelers, so make a spot for it on your schedule. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are a lot more attractions ready for you to experience after Fort Taber. Buttonwood Park Zoo, New Bedford Whaling Museum, and Zeiterion Theatre are close by.
