Description
Echoes of Revolution Guided Tour April 4, 11, 12, 18, and 19, 2026 Tours at 10 AM, 11 AM, 12 PM, 1 PM, and 2PM In this 60-minute guided tour, visit three historic Portsmouth homes to explore how the American Revolution and its legacy shaped daily life. Begin at Pitt Tavern in 1777, to learn how civilians during the Revolution grappled with questions of loyalty and debated the meaning of independence and equality. Next, at 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. Conclude 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. Museum Members $15; Nonmembers $20.
