Anyway....Been back many times and I sleep well there and feel totally calm!!
Anyway, a little history to add to local history!!
My Dad was born in 1929 after my paternal Grandmother (YiaYia) came over once my Papoo had a farm going on well on aforementioned land.
So horrible!!
One thing that's changed in recent years (for the worse) is the huge influx of people!!!
Walk through at your own pace.
I grew up in Portsmouth and still miss every thing about it.
Then Dad came along.
Lots of information.
Beautiful old colonial home.
Many memories of my greatfranparents farm!!
If you are interested in early American history, this house is well worth a stop. Just be warned, the John Paul Jones name was mostly attached in order to get the building historical protection, and he only lived there as a boarder for a short time. That being said, the house (run by the Portsmouth Historical Society) is in excellent condition and features artifacts from times past, as well as carefully curated rooms that give a glimpse into daily life during the revolutionary period.
What an incredible number of displays from the 1600-1900. The Historic collections of John Paul Jones, the Portsmouth Peace Treaty and the newest display of the Odd and Elegant are fascinating.
He was in Germany serving our country at the time of government "stole our families land/farm".
Dad tried to win them in court once he returned home and found this out
History at its best, Portsmouth has many historic sites to visit.
We had moved to Fl:(.
When my grandparents moved to Portsmouth, they ended up having 6 girls and 1 boy! Brave souls!!
My paternal Grandfather who moved to Portsmouth from Greece in early 1900 purchased the land that is now Pease(Airforce Base at the time).
My maternal Grandparents lived in Manchester, New Hampshire.
They are all still here and well except my most dear and deepmy loved Mom (&Dad).
Hated everything here and did not want to talk to my parents!!! I was only a teen who was happy, had many family members and NEVER thought I'd leave:(
