The Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum welcomes you for visits to our historic house and gardens this season. Reservations are not necessary, but you can help us to plan your visit by scheduling your Museum House tour on-line or by phone.
The Rotch-Jones-Duff (RJD) House occupies a full city block on County Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, bordered by Madison, Cherry (now Joli Gonsalves), and Seventh Streets. The house is a Greek Revival mansion set back from the sidewalk on all sides with the house positioned about forty feet from the sidewalks to the north and west (Madison and County Streets) to allow for greater space for gardens and outbuildings on the south and east of the property. The property is approximately one acre in size and was acquired by William Rotch Jr. as part of the land owned by his father, William Rotch Sr. who passed the property to his children under the provisions of the will in force at his death in 1828. The property was deeded to William Jr. on 5 July 1831.
