The historical society will be closed on Thursday, November 23 in observation of the Thanksgiving holiday. We will reopen the next day, Friday, November 24 at 10 a.m with the opening of our 33rd Annual Gingerbread Contest and Exhibition.
Barbara Stevens Adams, Peter Cady, Tom Glover, and Dustan Knight team up to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the founding of Portsmouth by remembering what used to be. Through their paints and brushes, these four talented artists depict the lost neighborhoods of our beloved city such as the North End, old Puddle Dock, the West End and others. Works will be on display and available for sale from November 24 through December 30 in the balcony gallery at Portsmouth Historical Society.
Free admission all day long.

Joshua Hrehovcik, photographer and writer, likes to take long rides and lots of photographs. He is currently in a contest to get more Instagram followers than his brother – and is losing. Badly.
