Exhibit: Revolutionary Portsmouth Curator Tour at the Historic John Paul Jones House

Exhibit: Revolutionary Portsmouth Curator Tour at the Historic John Paul Jones House

Join the Portsmouth Historical Society Curator for a Guided Tour of “Revolutionary Portsmouth”

Step into a house that witnessed the American Revolution and may have housed important Revolutionary Figures. Join our Curator, Gerry Ward, as he walks through this exhibition examining the choices of everyday citizens in Portsmouth during the 1760s and 1770s. Democracy or monarchy? Patriot or a Loyalist. What did the Revolution actually mean for local African Americans, Native Americans, or women? What was life on the homefront like? What did the town look like at this time, in terms of its architecture and material life?

Tours happen at 12:00 and 5:30 pm.
This is a free tour, no registration required.
