Strawbery Banke Museum
Strawbery Banke Museum began as a “save our history” effort by the citizens of Portsmouth. In the late 1950s, Puddle Dock, an area of dilapidated homes near the Piscataqua River was targeted for urban renewal. All the “substandard” homes in Puddle Dock — some of which dated back to the 1600s — were to torn down and replaced with modern buildings. That was until city librarian Dorothy Vaughn addressed the Portsmouth Rotary Club one day in 1957. That day Vaughn “laid it on the line” for the Rotary Club, telling them that every time one of the old houses was torn or an antique piece of Portsmouth furniture shipped out of town, the city was losing its past. The Rotary Club was galvanized into action, and while Puddle Dock did undergo urban renewal, much of it has been saved as a historic museum.

Portsmouth
The Creek (pronounced “Crick”) was about 90% Irish Catholic and there are still many Creek natives who live in the neighborhood. The North End and Christian Shore surrounding the North Mill Pond, are linked to the downtown by Maplewood Avenue. While the southern portion has been intruded by urban renewal, containing several major historic urban archaeological sites, the rest is a 2-story residential area below the Route 1 ByPass which includes the oldest house in New Hampshire and a cluster of Federal and Victorian buildings similar to the South End. Added to the District in 2010, the West End is a 19th-century Frank Jones Brewery and Button Factory which also encompasses the Islington Street neighborhood and includes various residential and commercial architectural styles.

Prescott Park
Prescott Park is a ten-plus acre waterfront park in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States. The land was purchased in the 1930s by two sisters, Josie and Sarah Prescott. The sisters, public school teachers, had used an inheritance to systematically purchase and clear properties along the Piscataqua River.

Musée Strawberry Banke
Le musée Strawbery Banke a commencé par un effort de « sauver notre histoire » par les citoyens de Portsmouth. À la fin des années 1950, Puddle Dock, une zone de maisons délabrées près de la rivière Piscataqua, a été ciblée pour la rénovation urbaine. Toutes les maisons « inférieures aux normes » de Puddle Dock – dont certaines remontaient aux années 1600 – devaient être démolies et remplacées par des bâtiments modernes. C'était jusqu'à ce que la bibliothécaire municipale Dorothy Vaughn s'adresse au Rotary Club de Portsmouth un jour de 1957. Ce jour-là, Vaughn l'a "mis en jeu" pour le Rotary Club, leur disant que chaque fois qu'une des vieilles maisons était déchirée ou qu'un meuble antique de Portsmouth était expédié hors de la ville, la ville perdait son passé. Le Rotary Club a été galvanisé dans l'action, et bien que Puddle Dock ait subi un renouvellement urbain, une grande partie a été sauvée en tant que musée historique.

The Creek (prononcez « Crick ») était à environ 90 % irlandais catholique et il y a encore beaucoup d'indigènes de Creek qui vivent dans le quartier. L'extrémité nord et la rive chrétienne entourant l'étang North Mill, sont relié au centre-ville par l'avenue Maplewood. Tandis que la partie sud a été envahie par le renouvellement urbain, contenant plusieurs sites archéologiques urbains historiques majeurs, le reste est un quartier résidentiel de 2 étages sous la route 1 ByPass qui comprend la plus ancienne maison du New Hampshire et un groupe de bâtiments fédéraux et victoriens semblables au Extrémité sud. Ajouté au District en 2010, le West End est une brasserie et usine de boutons Frank Jones du XIXe siècle qui englobe également le quartier d'Islington Street et comprend divers styles architecturaux résidentiels et commerciaux.

Hello. Thank you for your response. We have a 0% cancelation rate. We do not cancel tours unless absolutely necessary to make every accommodation possible. We canceled the tour at 5:15 AM for a 10 AM tour that morning. As written in the tour description, there is a minimum of two guests to go out on a tour. In this case, we canceled the tour due to one tour guest having booked. The weather was questionable, and therefore, this may have prevented others from booking. We did provide ample notification, a refund and communicated what was necessary given the circumstances. Again, we are sorry that no one else booked and the weather was questionable for others to join in.
