We got tickets through their website for a tour and lesson by a very knowledgeable member of the historical society. She covered a variety of topics John Paul Jones, the original owners of the mansion, the freed black man who built the house and how the house evolved over the years. There was also a wonderful exhibit about the Russo Japanese War Truce which occurred in Portsmouth. There was also a lovely exhibit about female artists which focused on handicrafts but was just as beautiful as paintings.nBe sure to get reservations and tickets online during this season. We were kept in small groups of 2 to 6, and we were directed to tour the house in opposite directions to reduce interaction.nNot for limited mobility as stairs were needed to enter the house and explore the upper floor.nDid not see a bathroom so be sure to use one before visiting.
Wife and I did a self guided tour during Covid lockdown. Person who greeted us was very nice and helpful. House is fun to walk through and get a taste of history. Overall if you are a big US History buff you should definitely check it out.
While doing some scenic attractions we found this place. Check online availability and says it's OPEN. Get there, signs all say OPEN. Ask the woman at the property and she says they are closed for the season. This just occurred less than 15 minutes ago.
Learned a lot that I didn't know
Excellent, lots of information.
