Portsmouth

Arthur Astor Carey (1857-1923) purchased forty acres of the original Benning Wentworth farm in 1887, soon enlarging his holdings to 119 acres in partnership with his brother. In 1887-8, on the portion of his land that bordered the tidal Sagamore Creek, Carey constructed the summer home that would become known as Creek Farm. Carey chose the Boston architect Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow (1854-1934) to design his home. Longfellow was a Harvard acquaintance of Carey’s and of J. Templeman Coolidge III (1856-1945), who led a group of prominent Bostonians in establishing summer homes near Sagamore Creek. Arthur Astor Carey was an important figure in the summer colony that coalesced near Sagamore Creek during the 1880s. That colony evolved to include artists, sculptors, musicians, architects, and historians. Carey himself displayed a multitude of interests, ranging from archaeology and astronomy through art and music to sailing and fine horses.

Fort Constitution State Historic Site

Fort Constitution State Historic Site is located on a peninsula on the northeast corner of New Castle Island. It overlooks both the Piscataqua River and the Atlantic Ocean. The grounds provide a casual gathering spot for picnics. In 1791, the State of New Hampshire gave the United States the neck of land on which Fort William and Mary and a lighthouse were situated. The fort was repaired, renamed Fort Constitution and garrisoned with a company of United States artillery. Renovations, which included a wall twice as high as that of the colonial fort and new brick buildings, were completed in 1808. It is the ruins of this fort that are seen today.

New Castle

New Castle, a one-mile square island at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, has a fascinating history. Settled as a fishing village, it became the capital of the province of New Hampshire in the late 1600s. The first overt act of the Revolutionary War took place in New Castle at Fort William and Mary. Over the following years, military fortifications were constructed on the island to defend the strategic and vital entrance to Portsmouth Harbor. Many of the original island families continue to preserve New Castle’s history through their generous donation of historic documents, maps, books, photographs and artifacts. As a quaint and picturesque village, New Castle weathers the changes of time with grace!

Fort Stark State Historic Site

Fort Stark Historic Site is located on a peninsula historically called Jerry's Point on the southeast corner of New Castle Island. It overlooks the Piscataqua River, Little Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. Fort Stark was named in honor of John Stark, commander of N.H. forces at the Battle of Bennington (1777). An unmarked walking trail traverses the ten-acre fort site. We’ll stop in the museum when open.

Prescott Park

The Prescott sisters, Josie and Mary, are directly responsible for the creation of what is now known as Prescott Park. Josie and Mary were public school teachers and lived in Portsmouth all of their lives. When their older brother, Charles Prescott, died he left the two sisters a sizable inheritance. Josie and Mary loved their city and long desired to see the waterfront section along what is now Marcy Street beautified and made accessible to all. In the last will and testament of Josie Prescott a private trust fund of $500,000 was set up just for this purpose. This trust's sole purpose was to purchase land parcels along the Piscataqua River from lower State Street to Pickering and Gates Street and to make this land into a public park. In 1954 with much of the land purchase accomplished this private trust and associated land were turned over to the City of Portsmouth to be administered and maintained for perpetuity. The Prescott Trust Fund, now a city trust fund, is responsible.

Four Tree Island

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard was established on June 12, 1800, during the administration of President John Adams. The area has a long tradition of shipbuilding. Since colonial settlement, New Hampshire and Maine forests provided lumber for wooden boat construction. HMS Falkland, considered the first British warship built in the Thirteen Colonies, was commissioned here in 1696. The Royal Navy reserved the tallest and straightest eastern white pine trees for masts, emblazening the bark with a crown symbol. During the Revolution, the Raleigh was built in 1776 on Badger's Island in Kittery, and became the first vessel to fly an American flag into battle. Raleigh has been depicted on the Seal of New Hampshire since 1784, even though she was captured and served in the British Navy. Other warships followed, including Ranger launched in 1777; Commanded by Captain John Paul Jones, it became the first U. S. Navy vessel to receive an official salute at sea from a foreign power.

Portsmouth

Tobias Lear V (1762-1816) who made the history books as the personal secretary to George Washington. Our last Tobais Lear is best known for his detailed account of the final hours of the first president of the not-so-United States in 1799. Born and raised in the house on Hunking Street, young Toby managed to attend Governor Dummer Academy and Harvard University. By 1784, then in his early 20s, young Toby Lear was back in Portsmouth casting about for a career when, likely thanks to his Uncle Langdon, he was hired to work at Gen. George Washington’s 10,000-acre plantation at Mount Vernon, Virginia. By Washington’s death the farm was operated by more than 300 enslaved Africans. In addition to his role as private secretary, Lear also managed the finances for the farm and tutored Martha Washington’s two children from her previous marriage.

Portsmouth

The Liberty Pole A symbol of citizen engagement in times of war and peace! The tall flag pole to the east of Puddle Dock and at the entrance to Prescott Park’s public gardens is so much a part of the landscape, it might get overlooked. On January 9, 1766, what we now know as the Liberty Pole was raised by the Sons of Liberty in protest of the Stamp Act. Nine years before the beginning of the American Revolution, the Liberty Pole was a rallying point for opposition to the Stamp Act.

Portsmouth

Arthur Astor Carey (1857-1923) a acheté quarante acres de la ferme originale de Benning Wentworth en 1887, agrandissant bientôt ses avoirs à 119 acres en partenariat avec son frère. En 1887-1888, sur la partie de sa terre qui bordait le ruisseau de marée Sagamore, Carey construisit la résidence d'été qui deviendrait connue sous le nom de Creek Farm. Carey a choisi l'architecte bostonien Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow (1854-1934) pour concevoir sa maison. Longfellow était une connaissance de Harvard de Carey et de J. Templeman Coolidge III (1856-1945), qui a dirigé un groupe d'éminents Bostoniens dans l'établissement de résidences d'été près de Sagamore Creek. Arthur Astor Carey était une figure importante de la colonie d'été qui s'est unie près de Sagamore Creek dans les années 1880. Cette colonie a évolué pour inclure des artistes, des sculpteurs, des musiciens, des architectes et des historiens. Carey lui-même a manifesté une multitude d'intérêts, allant de l'archéologie et de l'astronomie à l'art et à la musique, en passant par la voile et les beaux chevaux.

Site historique d'État de Fort Constitution

Le site historique d'État de Fort Constitution est situé sur une péninsule à l'angle nord-est de l'île New Castle. Il surplombe à la fois la rivière Piscataqua et l'océan Atlantique. Les terrains offrent un lieu de rassemblement décontracté pour les pique-niques. En 1791, l'État du New Hampshire a donné aux États-Unis le bout de terre sur lequel se trouvaient Fort William et Mary et un phare. Le fort a été réparé, rebaptisé Fort Constitution et mis en garnison avec une compagnie d'artillerie américaine. Les rénovations, qui comprenaient un mur deux fois plus haut que celui du fort colonial et de nouveaux bâtiments en briques, furent achevées en 1808. Ce sont les ruines de ce fort que l'on voit aujourd'hui.

Nouveau Château

New Castle, une île carrée d'un mile à l'embouchure de la rivière Piscataqua, a une histoire fascinante. Installé comme village de pêcheurs, il est devenu la capitale de la province du New Hampshire à la fin des années 1600. Le premier acte manifeste de la guerre d'indépendance a eu lieu à New Castle à Fort William et Mary. Au cours des années suivantes, des fortifications militaires ont été construites sur l'île pour défendre l'entrée stratégique et vitale du port de Portsmouth. De nombreuses familles insulaires d'origine continuent de préserver l'histoire de New Castle grâce à leur généreux don de documents historiques, de cartes, de livres, de photographies et d'artefacts. En tant que village pittoresque et pittoresque, New Castle traverse les changements de temps avec grâce !

Parc Prescott

Les sœurs Prescott, Josie et Mary, sont directement responsables de la création de ce qui est maintenant connu sous le nom de Prescott Park. Josie et Mary étaient enseignantes dans une école publique et ont vécu à Portsmouth toute leur vie. Lorsque leur frère aîné, Charles Prescott, est décédé, il a laissé aux deux sœurs un héritage considérable. Josie et Mary aimaient leur ville et souhaitaient depuis longtemps voir la section riveraine le long de ce qui est maintenant la rue Marcy embellie et rendue accessible à tous. Dans le dernier testament de Josie Prescott, un fonds en fiducie privé de 500 000 $ a été créé à cette fin. Le seul but de cette fiducie était d'acheter des parcelles de terrain le long de la rivière Piscataqua, de Lower State Street à Pickering et Gates Street, et de transformer ce terrain en parc public. En 1954, une grande partie de l'achat des terres ayant été réalisée, cette fiducie privée et les terres associées ont été cédées à la ville de Portsmouth pour être administrées et entretenues à perpétuité. Le Prescott Trust Fund, maintenant un fonds d'affectation spéciale de la ville, en est responsable.

Île aux quatre arbres

Le chantier naval de Portsmouth a été créé le 12 juin 1800 sous l'administration du président John Adams. La région a une longue tradition de construction navale. Depuis la colonisation, les forêts du New Hampshire et du Maine ont fourni du bois pour la construction de bateaux en bois. Le HMS Falkland, considéré comme le premier navire de guerre britannique construit dans les treize colonies, a été mis en service ici en 1696. La Royal Navy a réservé les pins blancs les plus hauts et les plus droits pour les mâts, ornant l'écorce d'un symbole de couronne. Pendant la Révolution, le Raleigh a été construit en 1776 sur Badger's Island à Kittery et est devenu le premier navire à arborer un drapeau américain au combat. Raleigh est représentée sur le sceau du New Hampshire depuis 1784, même si elle a été capturée et a servi dans la marine britannique. D'autres navires de guerre ont suivi, dont le Ranger lancé en 1777; Commandé par le capitaine John Paul Jones, il est devenu le premier navire de la marine américaine à recevoir un salut officiel en mer d'une puissance étrangère.

Portsmouth

Tobias Lear V (1762-1816) qui a fait les livres d'histoire en tant que secrétaire personnel de George Washington. Notre dernier Tobais Lear est surtout connu pour son récit détaillé des dernières heures du premier président des États-Unis en 1799. Né et élevé dans la maison de Hunking Street, le jeune Toby a réussi à fréquenter la Governor Dummer Academy et Harvard. Université. En 1784, alors au début de la vingtaine, le jeune Toby Lear était de retour à Portsmouth en quête d'une carrière lorsque, probablement grâce à son oncle Langdon, il fut embauché pour travailler dans la plantation de 10 000 acres du général George Washington à Mount Vernon, en Virginie. À la mort de Washington, la ferme était exploitée par plus de 300 Africains réduits en esclavage. En plus de son rôle de secrétaire privé, Lear a également géré les finances de la ferme et encadré les deux enfants de Martha Washington issus de son précédent mariage.

Le Pôle Liberté Un symbole de l'engagement citoyen en temps de guerre et de paix ! Le grand mât à drapeau à l'est de Puddle Dock et à l'entrée des jardins publics de Prescott Park fait tellement partie du paysage qu'il pourrait être négligé. Le 9 janvier 1766, ce que nous connaissons maintenant sous le nom de Liberty Pole a été érigé par les Fils de la Liberté pour protester contre le Stamp Act. Neuf ans avant le début de la Révolution américaine, le Liberty Pole était un point de ralliement pour l'opposition au Stamp Act.
