This historic park is fabulous. From the first video to all the various houses, it is non stop entertaining and beautiful. The structures range from very old homes, to stores and churches transporting you back to another world and time. The buildings are often staffed by volunteers dressed in vintage clothing who act out the person who lived or worked there. The gardens are beautiful and the garden tour is worth taking if you are a Gardner. Do not go to Portsmouth and miss this magical place.

The governor's mansion when Portsmouth was state capital in the 1700s, this historic 1718 house was the site of many important decisions about New Hampshires future.

We had a fantastic tour, We had arranged to meet the director at the house as it was closed for the season for regular tours. He was amazing and so knowledgeable. We found out about the family who had built the house and everything in it. Just great for history buffs

Found this monument and the Black Heritage trail, on a GPS map, before visiting Portsmouth, NH. My wife and I were quite unaware of Portsmouth’s role in colonial history. And we were even more astonished to learn of the role and presence of early Black Americans in this town. These monuments are very respectful and moving memorials to forgotten individuals, and a testament to modern-day Portsmouth’s spirit of acceptance, tolerance and remembrance. Please visit and make sure to read the memorial plaques.
