One of our favorite places to go (a favorite of mine since high school) is downtown Portsmouth. Portsmouth was the fourth European settlement in New England, and with it's brick streets, old buildings, and view of the Piscataqua River it is high on our list of things to do whenever we are back here! Here are a few pictures to give you a feel for this historic city:
The view down Market Street looking toward North Church
Old Warehouse- you can still see the old adds painted on the brick
North Church fun facts: Daniel Webster was a member here as well as William Whipple, who signed the Declaration of Independence, and in November of 1789, President George Washington attended services here.
Another view of North Church
I love the fire escapes and street lights!
Prescott Park
The best way to get around.
