Admission is free\, no RSVP required. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Author:\nOriginally from Upstate New York\, a graduate of Hobart College and Columbia University\, and a former life long employee of IBM\, Polus has an amazing wife and four accomplished children. Serving in senior financial positions afforded him the opportunity to live in England for one year\, followed thereafter by four years in France. He considers himself as a citizen of the world to complement his proud American heritage. \nJame Polus published his first book\, entitled “The Dream of AO” in May 2021\, followed by the sequel\, “Dreams of Lies and Delusions”\, published in 2022. The historical backdrop is the Indus Valley civilization\, circa 1700 BCE. He believes we can reference ancient civilizations to remind us that the timeless themes of love\, courage\, honor and redemption have long competed with treachery\, deceit\, hatred and lust. Professional storytellers perfectly recited long\, epic morality tales\, illustrating for all peoples the lessons for a virtuous life. Battles over dogma\, spiritual beliefs\, and rituals date well before written texts. \nPolus enjoys creative and imaginary fiction using strong characters to espouse his ideas on human purpose and human equality. The motifs of dreaming and oral traditions serve as the backdrop for his writing. Most of his characters practice mindfulness and are skilled in various forms of meditation. As an avid cyclist\, he likes to pedal alone on quiet country roads or traverse along the long ocean stretches\, imagining the lives of his characters.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Buy Portsmouth by James Polus\n \n \n \n \n \n About the Book:\nHistorical fiction comes to New England with the epic novel\, “Portsmouth\,” a classical saga reliving the story of a 1623 fictitious family and twelve successive generations that bring New England seacoast history to life.Memorable characters interact with real-life personalities and historical events that shaped America. From the early Puritans to the Sons of Liberty and the Revolutionary War\, up through the Great Depression and World War II\, the novel brings American notables such as George Washington\, Ona Judge Staines\, Major General Fitz-John Porter\, Frank Jones\, and Celia Thaxter into the reader’s imagination. \n The novel “Portsmouth” celebrates the 400th anniversary of the founding of this historic seaport\, so reminiscent of colonial times URL:https://portsmouthhistory.org/event/book-signing-portsmouth-a-novel/ LOCATION:Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street\, 10 Middle Street\, Portsmouth\, NH\, 01801\, United States CATEGORIES:Downstairs Exhibtion,Upstairs Exhibition,Welcome Center & Museum Shop Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://portsmouthhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Polus-524.png GEO:43.075448564665;-70.760680175025 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street 10 Middle Street Portsmouth NH 01801 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10 Middle Street:geo:-70.760680175025,43.075448564665 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230519T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230519T160000 DTSTAMP:20260428T163720 CREATED:20230503T135902Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230503T135906Z UID:10000155-1684506600-1684512000@portsmouthhistory.org SUMMARY:President Washington Walking Tour DESCRIPTION:The Portsmouth Path of President Washington\nSemi-Monthly at 2:30 pm\nFirst and third Fridays of the month\nThis 90-minute walking tour walks in the footsteps of George Washington\, stopping at many of the places he stayed or visited during his Presidential tour of New England that took place six months after his inauguration.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Book your walking tour!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tour Description:\nPresident Washington visited Portsmouth for four days in the fall of 1789 as part of the President’s tour of the northern states six months after his inauguration.

Scientific “digs” on Smuttynose Island are changing New England history. Archaeologist Nathan Hamilton has unearthed 300\,000 artifacts to date on this largely uninhabited rock at the Isles of Shoals. Evidence proves prehistoric Native Americans hunted New Hampshire’s only offshore islands 6\,000 years ago. Hundreds of European fishermen split\, salted\, and dried valuable Atlantic cod here from the 1620s. “King Haley” ruled a survivalist kingdom here before Thomas Laighton struck tourist gold when his family took over the region’s first hotel on Smuttynose. Laighton’s daughter Celia Thaxter spun poetic tales of ghosts and pirates. J. Dennis Robinson\, a longtime Smuttynose steward\, explores the truth behind the romantic legends of Gosport Harbor in this colorful show-and-tell presentation. \nAdmission is free\, pre-registration recommended. \n \n Join the waitlist for Treasure from the Isle of Shoals\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Presenter:\nJ. Dennis Robinson has published over a dozen books and 3\,000 articles on history focused primarily on the seacoast region. He is the author of richly illustrated books on the Isles of Shoals\, Strawbery Banke Museum\, Wentworth by the Sea Hotel\, and Privateer Lynx. His new award-winning hardcover\, Music Hall\, tracks the 400-year evolution of the performing arts in Portsmouth. His first novel\, Point of Graves\, is a character driven “history mystery” that explores Black history in New Hampshire’s only seaport. He is currently completing a history of New Castle\, a provocative study of the first NH settlement in 1623\, and a comic book history of Portsmouth for kids with children’s book illustrator Robert Squier. His work can be seen at jdennisrobinson.com online. \n \n \n \n \n \n This event is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities URL:https://portsmouthhistory.org/event/treasure-from-the-isles-of-shoals/ LOCATION:Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street\, 10 Middle Street\, Portsmouth\, NH\, 01801\, United States CATEGORIES:Downstairs Exhibtion,Exhibitions Programs,Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://portsmouthhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/518-Lecture-Shoals.jpg GEO:43.075448564665;-70.760680175025 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street 10 Middle Street Portsmouth NH 01801 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10 Middle Street:geo:-70.760680175025,43.075448564665 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230518T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230518T180000 DTSTAMP:20260428T163720 CREATED:20230419T204557Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230511T160311Z UID:10000145-1684425600-1684432800@portsmouthhistory.org SUMMARY:Portsmouth on Tap: Cisco Brewery DESCRIPTION:Salty & Malty since 1623\nWhen: Thursday\, May 18\, 4 – 6 pmWhere: Cisco Brewery\, 35 Corporate Dr\, Portsmouth\, NHWhat: drink a limited-edition beer inspired by the life of Ona Judge and participate in historical trivia and games \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This beer is inspired by:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ona Judge was born an enslaved woman.

What story do you tell over and over? What landscape do you cherish the most? One of the deepest human instincts is to tell our life stories\, to figure out who we are and what it means to be human. This interactive workshop led by Maura MacNeil explores how the landscapes of our lives shape the stories that we tell. Participants explore the themes of family\, memory\, and place through sample narratives and a series of short writing exercises\, gaining a deeper awareness of how their stories can preserve personal\, generational\, and communal history. \nAdmission is free\, pre-registration recommended. \n \n Register for Family\, Memory\, Place\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Presenter:\nMaura MacNeil is a writer\, editor\, and teacher.

Twenty talented artists were selected from New Hampshire\, northern Massachusetts\, and Maine. Each has a unique style\, a significant body of work\, and varied subject matter. Although their approaches differ\, they each use the same “tricks of the trade”: color\, line\, shape\, size\, and composition. Just like language and grammar\, these elements of design can be used in infinite ways. \nDate: Wednesday\, December 7Time: 12-1 pmFree AdmissionNo reservations required URL:https://portsmouthhistory.org/event/curator-tour-12-7-2022/ LOCATION:Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street\, 10 Middle Street\, Portsmouth\, NH\, 01801\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://portsmouthhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/20220928-ST-logo-draft-scaled.jpg GEO:43.075448564665;-70.760680175025 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Portsmouth Historical Society at 10 Middle Street 10 Middle Street Portsmouth NH 01801 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=10 Middle Street:geo:-70.760680175025,43.075448564665 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221202T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221202T143000 DTSTAMP:20260428T163721 CREATED:20221108T183207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221121T205740Z UID:10000118-1669984200-1669991400@portsmouthhistory.org SUMMARY:Vintage Christmas Kickoff Party DESCRIPTION:Vintage Christmas in Portsmouth Kickoff Party\nJoin us on Friday\, December 3 from 5:30 to 7:30 to celebrate the season!
