The Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum is a museums and historical site based in New Bedford, Massachusetts, established in 1983. Originally focused on safeguarding a historic building, the organization has broadened its role to actively participate in the cultural community by offering programs that serve a diverse audience. It operates as a partner in the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park and collaborates with local cultural and educational institutions to pursue shared goals and larger achievements. The museum emphasizes community engagement and cultural education as part of its mission, providing access to experiences tied to regional history. A noted recent development is a partnership with New Bedford Food Tours to present an event that combines film and food, reflecting its participation in local collaborative initiatives.
