Strawbery Banke Museum

Step back in time more than 250 years while you explore this fascinating living history museum in Portsmouth. With over 37 reconstructed buildings from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, you will be able to learn more about how originally European settlers lived when they came over to the US. Many of the homes have authentic decor and furnishings, as well as costumed actors portraying different daily tasks that settlers would have done at the time. See a coppering demonstration at the Dinsmore Shop, visit the real home of famed poet Thomas Bailey Aldrich or stroll through the lush community gardens and apple orchards on site.
