Mapping Acushnet Avenue to Begin A Career: John Bullard's Hometown

Before he transformed the waterfront district by working at the Waterfront Historic Area LeaguE, before he was Mayor of New Bedford, before he went to work in DC, John Bullard chose New Bedford's Acushnet Avenue in the North End as the inspiration for his graduate project in architecture/urban planning at MIT.

Join us to walk through the district with Bullard as we discuss his memoir Hometown with him, check out the exciting new public art adorning the area, the international (and delicious) flavors, the history and vitality of the North End.

The walk will be a slow ramble, less than 2 miles, around the North End of New Bedford.

The event is free but we ask that people pre-register so that we have a head count for refreshments. Learn more and register here.

Many thanks to the New Bedford Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, who have provided funding for this event.
