We're looking forward to lifting your spirits on October 8th for AHA! Night: Tunes, Treats & Creative Streets! Start by kicking off the 30th anniversary of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park! Pick up a 30th Anniversary Collector Card at the Visitor Center, paint it with watercolors, then fill in your card by getting it stamped at the park and partner sites throughout downtown New Bedford. As part of the park's celebration, the Nathan and Polly Johnson House will be open to guests from 5:30โ€“7 pm, courtesy of the New Bedford Historical Society. At this Underground Railroad 'station,' Nathan and Polly Johnson, prominent African American abolitionists in New Bedford, sheltered many people escaping slavery. It was here, in September 1838, that Frederick Douglass found freedom, a new name, and with his wife Anna, his first home in freedom. (Bring your Collector Card to get it stamped here after you explore this important place!) And that's just a fraction of what's happening this AHA! Night. We hope you can join the fun. Complete details are on our website, with more information and activities added daily. by @ahanewbedford
