 Strawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #30
The Coolidge family were wealthy and artistic Bostonians who "rusticated" here
each summer. They purchased the historic Gov. Benning Wentworth mansion in 1888,
drawing other city-folk to Little Harbor. This pastoral photo, taken by Molly
Coolidge around 1896, shows her little brother Jack and sisters Elizabeth and
Louise. (click to see)
