Making a bequest to Portsmouth Historical Society ensures that my husband and I will make a lasting difference at the historical society. We will impact children and families that we will never know. Our gift allows us to express our commitment to the education of future generations. It’s our way of making sure that children know about their community and the families that lived here long before them.
