New Bedford national park, center of city culture, turns 30 | Exclusive

When most people picture a national park, they think of sprawling mountain ranges, towering forests or miles of untouched wilderness. Thirty years ago, New Bedford became home to a different kind of national park, one right in the heart of downtown. Instead of mountains and forests, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park spans 13 city blocks, woven into the streets, historic buildings and waterfront that helped make the city one of the most important whaling ports in the world. Established on Nov. 12, 1996, the park is now celebrating three decades of preserving New Bedford's history and sharing the stories of the people who helped shape the city. Over the years, its mission has grown well beyond whaling, shining a light on the people, cultures, industries and events that made New Bedford the city it is today. "Celebrating 30 years is a significant milestone for New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park," said Laurel A. Racine, the park's superintendent. "It represents three decades of preserving the park's rich history, sharing its stories, and connecting visitors with the people and places that shaped this community."

Spirit of 1676: remembering the Native American cataclysm of King Philip’s war

Massachusetts is proud of its ties to the American Revolution. From Paul Revere's Ride to the siege of Boston, the past year-plus has been devoted to celebrating 250 years of US independence. Yet during this time, the state, and New England in general, has given far less attention to an older, more complex remembrance: The 350th anniversary of King Philip's war.

Literary Boston: A Book Lover’s Guide to Bookshops, Libraries and Hotels

Boston has always been a city of readers. It is where Emerson, Longfellow and Hawthorne gathered for dinner, where America’s great publishers once kept shop and where you can still sit under a vaulted ceiling with a book for an entire afternoon. Literary Boston is not a museum piece. It is woven into the streets, which is exactly what I love about it, and fall is the perfect season to explore it.

Baroque Highlights at Trinity in Lakeville

This past Sunday at Trinity Episcopal Church, Crescendo, under the direction of Christine Gevert, produced a program under the title Gallant Fire,” centering the playlist around a recently discovered choral work by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741). This was the American premiere of this work (the only choral work of Vivaldi that we have). Vivaldi claimed to have composed 94 operas, but we have only the titles of 51 operas and none of the scores. Vivaldi was a violin prodigy at the age of eleven when he began playing in his father’s orchestra; he became the most famous violinist and composer of his era.
