Join us for the Echoes of Revolution Guided Tours!

In a 60-minute guided tour you’ll visit three historic homes in Portsmouth and explore how the American Revolution and its legacy shaped daily life.

Starting at the Pitt Tavern in 1777, you’ll learn how civilians during the Revolution grappled with questions of loyalty and debated the meaning of independence and equality. From there you’ll head to the Rider-Wood House in 1826, see how life unfolded in a new nation facing the challenge of living up to the Revolution’s promises. The tour wraps up at the Goodwin Mansion in 1870 to discover how the Revolution continued to shape American life long after its end.

Each house presents a window into how Portsmouth residents experienced and remembered the Revolution, demonstrating that the struggle for freedom extended beyond battlefields into daily life.

Tours are scheduled for 10a.m.,11am., and from12pm-2p.m.

Admission is $15 for members; and $20 for nonmembers.
