So I grew up coming to the Whaling Museum, but it was basically almost the original building and the downstairs with the Lagoda sitting in the middle of it. And then I lived away for a while and when I moved back here with my children, then they would come on school trips, etc.
My parents were one of the first people to support the Old Dartmouth Historical Society. I grew up in New Bedford on County Street. One of the first people to Old Dartmouth Historical Society. One of my sisters worked for Richard Kugler who was a mover at a shaker curator for the museum in the '70s. And she actually became an architectural preservationist. And my brother, Peter, has restored many of the antique ship models that the museum owns. They had a ship model exhibit about six years ago I'm going to guess.
Pandemic makes time weird, doesn't it?…
