Open closed doors and explore hidden corners of the John Paul Jones House, one of Portsmouth’s iconic and historic landmarks, on this behind-the-scenes tour! Guests will get to see spaces that are usually closed to the public, such as the attic spaces that would have once been family bedrooms and now house collections storage, while they hear from staff about the fascinating challenges of historic preservation. The evening also includes a guided tour of the house and a curator-led tour of the special exhibition “Revolutionary Portsmouth.” This tour is on July 17 and September 25.
