If you know architecture, Portsmouth's array of Colonial, Federalist and Neo-classical styles will dazzle you. For a broader look at the city's history, visit Strawbery Banke Museum, where over 40 buildings have been assembled to depict Portsmouth life from 1695 to 1950, complete with costumed actors. View an 18th-century garden, striking stairway and period furniture at the Moffatt Ladd House, the home of William Whipple, a signatory of the Declaration of Independence, or follow a costumed guide through the John Paul Jones House, home of the Revolutionary War naval hero. Climb aboard the USS Albacore, a retired US Navy submarine offering tours and exhibits.
Portsmouth is filled with old homes and museums, and you'll have your pick of fascinating historic sites. You can join one of several organised walking tours or explore on your own. Don your walking shoes, breathe in the ocean air and set out to discover this picturesque maritime town.
