Historic Portsmouth, New Hampshire, originally settled as Strawbery Banke
in 1623, was already more than 150 years old when the U. S. Constitution was signed in 1788 (by Portsmouth resident, John Langdon, among others),
and when sitting President George Washington visited in 1789.

dining, shopping, and comfortable to deluxe hotel accommodations, all

States, centered at the Strawbery Banke Museum, New Hampshire's pre-eminent
historic site, where visitors can learn how people lived and worked in this typical
American neighborhood throughout four centuries of history.
