Strawbery Banke Museum, in the heart of historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is an authentic 10-acre outdoor history museum dedicated to bringing 300+ years of American history in the same waterfront neighborhood to life. The Museum is a place for children, adults, multigenerational families, and groups to gather to explore eight heritage gardens, 32 historic buildings, and traditional crafts, preservation programs, hands-on activities, the stories told by costumed role-players and the changing exhibits that offer hours of fun and discovery. The Museum's restored buildings and open space invite visitors to immerse themselves in the past, using objects from the museum's collection of 30,000 artifacts, and the histories of the families who lived and worked in the Puddle Dock neighborhood to engage, educate, and entertain.

Partners and SponsorsA National Historic Landmark, owned by Historic New England, Governor John Langdon House is an exceptional Georgian mansion which George Washington “esteemed the first” in Portsmouth. Its reception rooms are of a grand scale suited to ceremonial occasions and are ornamented by elaborate wood carving in the Rococo style. The gardens feature a 100-foot long rose arbour, recently restored, expansive pinetum grove with twisting paths, and perennial border garden; many of these elements were cultivated in the early 20th century by Elizabeth Langdon and Woodbury Langdon. It is on the grounds of Langdon House that some of the most artistic fairy houses have been found during many years of Portsmouth Fairy House Tours, and this year has served as an open-air theatre to New Hampshire Theatre Project who filmed their 2020 fairy performances on site for the special virtual tour weekend.
