Just a one hour drive from our campus, Portsmouth is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States – and it puts 400 years of history at your feet. You can visit the John Paul Jones House to meet the “Father of the American Navy” who led a crew of local New Hampshire men against the British on the high seas during the Revolutionary War. You can also visit Strawbery Banke, a 10 acre museum of restored houses, featured exhibits, and historic landscapes and gardens.  Strawbery Banke tells the stories of the many generations who settled in the Portsmouth, NH, community from the late l7th to the mid-20th century.  You can also take a boat tour of Portsmouth Harbor or the Isle of Shoals, or simply visit an array of local shops and eateries.
