Overview
Strawbery Banke is an outdoor history museum in Portsmouth's South End, the oldest European-settled neighborhood in New Hampshire, settled in 1630 by Captain Walter Neale and named for the wild berries along the Piscataqua River. Seventeen historic houses are open as furnished interiors, with costumed role-players and staff interpreters showing how life changed over more than three centuries. It is open seasonally, from spring to fall, with special holiday programs.
