In Memoriam: Jon Wennberg
We’d like to take a moment to remember one of the “most easy going, affable, and good natured individuals you’d ever want to meet.” Jon Wennberg was a long-time volunteer and friend of Portsmouth Historical Society who was always ready to pitch in and lend a hand, no matter the task. Our sincerest condolences to his family. He will be missed.
It’s Earth Day in the Museum Shop!

Made from sustainable bamboo, it’s “rings” are silhouettes of endangered species from around the globe!
