New Hampshire’s cities are known primarily for their longevity. The history that surrounds them is
fascinating and well worth careful exploration. It is always worthwhile to take a glimpse into your past to see
what sort of progress we’ve made as a nation.
Portsmouth is a shining example of this mentality. A well-preserved, respectable city with a rich
past, it is one of the more popular stop offs in the state. Strawberry Banke is a fine example of what the town
used to consist of. Historic homes and a generally colonial setting, this is a worthwhile glimpse into the city’s
origins.
Downtown is the Portsmouth Harbor and various shops, galleries, and restaurants. You can stop by
one of many local music venues or hop on a steamship for a jaunt out to offshore destinations.
New Hampshire's oldest community, Portsmouth, might look like a major city on the map, but once
you're there it has much more of the feel of a country town, and a pleasant lived-in atmosphere that places it well
above some of the smaller, more tourist-focused communities along the coast. Its position at the mouth of the
Piscataqua River has always made it an important port – it was the state capital until 1808 – but it has barely
grown, and the spire of North Church in the central Market Square remains the highest building you'll see in
town.
Of a striking selection of grand timber mansions, the 1758 gambrel-roofed, cream-and-white
clapboard John Paul Jones House at 43 Middle St, on the corner of State Street, is the most distinctive. However,
with so many old houses to see you can contentedly walk at random (or, better, get a Harbour Trail leaflet from the
visitor center), and a visit to Strawbery Banke provides a better overview of local history. In Prescott Park along
the waterfront, the Sheafe Warehouse Museum (free) has a fascinating collection of mostly nautical ephemera.
Indeed Portsmouth's fortunes have long rested with its naval shipyard, visible across the bay (in
Kittery, Maine). Founded in 1800 by John Paul Jones as the US government's first shipyard, it has remained active
ever since – it launched 31 submarines in 1944 alone, and built the first Polaris in 1962. During World War I,
Humphrey Bogart, as a junior naval rating, suffered injuries, while attempting to prevent the escape of a prisoner,
that left him with his trademark sneer and a slight lisp.
Portsmouth is a seaside holiday destination in New Hampshire and a good base for trips to Hampton
Beach, the most popular beach in the region, the Isles of Shoals. Prescott Park, Portsmouth's waterfront park with
flower gardens and a summer arts festival, is also worth a visit. Rent a limo in Portsmouth (NH)!
