“WALK AROUND HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH AND ITS STRAWBERY BANKE MUSEUM” ~ Portsmouth New Hampshire USA 🇺🇸 ~ Wednesday Walk

avatar
(Edited)

Hi all 👋🏻

Let’s share some of my adventures in the USA 🇺🇸 during my “vacation to New England” last month with you 😊
Today we visit PORTSMOUTH and its HISTORIC HOUSES and a walk through STRAWBERY BANKE MUSEUM. Located in NEW HAMPSHIRE. 🇺🇸😊

With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.

‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!… the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last #Wednesdaywalk post here;
Wednesday Walk Hazelwood Park
It will tell you also the rules of joining at the Wednesday walk posts 😁 come join us! It is fun!

Today’s selection will be of 27 PHOTOGRAPHS
Date: 6 OCTOBER 2023.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes. 😊

The location of PORTSMOUTH you can find on the following screenshot of Google maps :

Zooming out, so you can see a bit more :

It is right on the border with the State MAINE.

Let’s start our walk now…

First we visit this house:

The sign tells us it is the JACKSON HOUSE and dates back to 1664

It is well preserved / maintained.

It’s location is on the outskirts of the city…

After this we walk back into the centre of PORTSMOUTH 😊
I see this mural that brightens up the facade of this building.
Very cool #streetart work 😎

We see this metal arch in the shopping area. In the distance I notice a theatre or cinema 🎦

We, of course, walk into the street to check it out.
I so love these neon lights… brings back old times long forgotten 😎😁 it is a music hall btw.

We continue our walk and check out the waterfront from Portsmouth 😊

Another old historic building 😊 located in Prescott park.

We wander towards the historic district now, there is also the STRAWBERY BANKE MUSEUM located.
So let’s check out this area 😁

The houses are really well taken care of. Love the red wooden fronts.

This yellow house stands out 😎

On it we find this sign:

Read it carefully hahaha 🤣

Definitely before I was born 😉

What a funny find, don’t you think?

I like this neighbourhood, the buildings are beautiful.

The #church ⛪️

We see here a house that is being painted 🤓 do you see it?

One house older than the other one 🏡

White picket fence…

We reach the MUSEUM now.

Here you can get information and buy tickets to enter. On some days they have workshops and show you how life back in the days would look like. The performers all dressed up in clothes from that era.

A view around the grounds :

Picnic areas too.

We see some people around but not many this day.

We didn’t go into the museum to look around and only crossed the grounds quickly 😃 but you can see some of the houses here.

There are some souvenir shops too.

And this bright yellow house is the last of the historic houses I want to share with you today… on or walk through Portsmouth.

It is a very walkable city and has some cute area to spend some time wandering around. Like we did today 😊

But…

Before I will finish this post today, I want to share with you my Hive Power Up too 🎉🐝

I powered up 10 HIVE this morning :

What brought my #hivepower to 9,646 HP 🤓 here an overview from my #account, screenshot from #PeakD:

I also reached this week 73 #reputation 🥳 wooohhhoooooo 😁💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Did you power up today? Go ahead… there is still time to join us 😁 on this #HPUD

…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻
Even my own #artworks, once in a while, will come by” 🎨
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.

I really like constructions made of wood, this first house looks great and is really well maintained. Beautiful and colorful architecture, a real pleasure to walk through that place dear friend @littlebee4
I appreciate you sharing these beautiful shots, have a happy Wednesday walk.

Beautiful, classic New England city. My little town was established in 1761. People are proud of those dates around here lol We drove through Portsmouth on a summer trip. Had lobster just south of there on the coast. Nice area.

Hmmm my reputation increased to 70. I thought reputation was not even calculated anymore. I know it used to be based on followers but that led to all kinds of shenanigans to increase follower count. Not sure what the calculation is anymore.

Yes, definitely classic New England feel there. It’s so charming.
That’s so cool… it’s nice to see they are proud of it. We had some lobster roll in Maine 🦞

As far as I noticed the reputation is still counted and it increases with everything we do. Not only followers.
When you earn from comments and curation. Positing… powering up… all of it. It slowly increases.
Think that was before I came to Hive.
Next month I am here 2 years 🎉😁

good day to you and I have to say this post makes me feel bad, not at you but at myself LOL
Portsmouth is a place I want to visit and its so close to me compared to you and I haven't made it there yet, I could have earlier this year our Daughter in Laws Brother booked a house there for a long weekend in summer and we were invited to go and join all the family there but with my wifes health issues and trouble sleeping she was not keen to go so we didn't but hey maybe next year

I now even more want to go there after seeing the great tour you have given us today

Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)

Thank you so much @tattoodjay 👋🏻😊
I understand. I hope you will end up in Portsmouth one day. It is such a lovely place to visit. We really enjoyed it. We stayed there 4 nights. So explored a lot, also went up the coast a bit.
I will share more soon from that area 😎

It is understandable that you didn’t go when you could have visited. Health and feeling comfortable is much more important.

Happy to join, always!

I thought the same and mature is the right word.

The sign tells us it is the JACKSON HOUSE and dates back to 1664

According to this article, this is the oldest house in New Hampshire. Probably worth a visit, if you walk there.

I walked around it so it was pretty cool. It wasn’t open to the public, at least not when I was there.
Have a great day 👋🏻😊

Hahaha, yes, definitely before we were born 😂

It was a very nice walk through historic Portsmouth, the houses look so different from the European ones. At least from those I have seen until now :D

Happy Wednesday, Jackie 🤓

Hahaha 🤣

They all look like these houses in the New England area. I love it. Especially in the country side when the fall colours pop. So romantic.
The wood of the houses and in all kind of different colours. Charming.

Thanks a lot 👋🏻😊 happy Thursday!

Cool post Jackie,
That house is very old and looks in good shape.
I like the houses in the neighbourhood, they look beautiful 👌

I so love these neon lights… brings back old times long forgotten

Lol, when you would put on your finest shoes and hit the dance floor? 😃
