My visit to the Wentworth House was part of a larger adventure of visiting many historic homes in New England. Thus it is difficult to avoid comparison.
This house is a perfect gem displaying the major points of Georgian house design. The "bones" are all there - symmetry, light, breadth of space and the general "airiness" one expects from a...

One room contains an exhibit about Portsmouth's privateers of the colonial...

This was one of three houses we toured on a rainy day in Portsmouth. We were the only two on the tour on this day. The tour guide was extremely knowledgable and was happy to answer any question you had - she was also helpful in recommending areas to see in Portsmouth which were low-cost/free. The house and gardens were...

When you visit the Wentworth Gardner home you are also visiting the near by home of Tobias Lear V the personal assistant to George Washington throughout his presidency and after. The Lear home is in relatively poor condition but is apparently schedule for reconditioning work sometime in the next few years. The real jewel on this visit is the Wentworth...
