A delightful, informative and entertaining living museum. Enthusiastic amateur historians on hand to regale you with in-character vignettes and New-England history and culture. Very nicely done.

A wonderful place to immerse yourself in the history of Portmouth. Greatly done with a lot of love and respect for history and the people who lived here. Amazing how many volunteers are present to tell you what you want to know or what they think is important for you. Absolutely very much recomnended to go there!

Interesting historical sites. When in Portland, a must see! Reserve 2+ hours to see it all. When in the area will visit it again and allow much more time to explore.

This small neighborhood contains Colonial, Georgian and Federal... More

This is an interesting museum, a collection of many different buildings all focusing on some aspect of life as it was. The architectural and restoration exhibits were neat. Something different in each house. Easy parking on site and the site is not too difficult to navigate except for some of the steep stairs in a few houses if you wanted... More 

If you do nothing else you must visit this museum. It is part living history and several of the buildings have guides. There is so much to see and the tickets are good for two consecutive day. Tons of history and amazing how some of these building have survived.
