After looping around Massaschusetts, I stayed overnight in Providence, Rhode Island. There I visited the Roger Williams National Memorial, the Old Town District with buildings from the 1600's, Brown University, and the State Capitol Building.

Then it was off to New Bedford, MA to visit the New Bedford Whaling National Historic Site.

The beautiful murals painted to show the different places the whalers went on their adventures.
New Bedford was the scene for Herman Melville's Moby Dick. It was based on Herman's experiences in the town when we was a whaler there.
