Definitely worth a visit. Very interesting art reflecting the history and development of the city.We came there for a gingerbread houses competition, and there were some amazing creations.

Jeff did a wonderful job educating us about the history of Portsmouth. He presented the information in an entertaining way while we got some steps in around the town. It helps give you a lay of the land. Def recommend!

Highly recommend the walking tours! Both times I've gone, our guide was both informative and entertaining, with deep local knowledge and experience - not just reading from a script.And don't miss the gift shop!
Open seasonally, April-December.
