New England Treasure: Fort Taber-Fort Rodman Military Museum, New Bedford, MA

The Fort Taber ~ Fort Rodman Military Museum is a municipal museum dedicated to memorializing the contributions of New Bedford, MA, residents in every war from the Civil War to the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The museum is staffed entirely by volunteers.

Because of the museum's popularity and because of its limited space, it recently was expanded, and the addition was formally opened in a Memorial Day ceremony.

For more information about the museum and its expansion, please visit:
