SPEAKER: 'John Fisher: Portsmouth Man Who Won Both Sides of the Revolution,' by Tom Hardiman at Warner House

The brother-in-law of Governor John Wentworth, Fisher was at the heart of the colony's royal establishment in the years before the American Revolution and was then banished by New Hampshire's Proscription Act in 1778. After the war, in a baffling and improbable set of events, he was recognized by both the Crown and New Hampshire as he worked to restore his property and his rights. Portsmouth Athenaeum Keeper and Executive Direction, Tom Haridman will share the fascinating story of John Fisher at our next History & Soup.

MISSION STATEMENT
 

The mission of the Warner House Association is to preserve and interpret for the benefit of the public, the 1716-18 brick structure and surrounding urban landscape. The emphasis of the interpretative program is on the stories of those who occupied the house from 1718 to 1930, with the expectation that our efforts will contribute to a greater understanding of the people of  Portsmouth, the Piscataqua region, and America.
