Strawbery Banke Museum
|
Portsmouth, NH -- It looks like a peacful colonial New England village -- but look deeper. Strawbery Banke Museum is a core sample of an ever-changing America. The 10-acre campus was once a Biritish plantation founded in 1630. Abandoned by its founders, NH's oldest neighborhood and only seaport thrived, then fell into disrepair in the early 19th century. Considered a "blighted" location by the federal government, the Puddle Dock neighborhood was cleared by urban renewal in the 1960s. A band of preservationists saved over two dozen early houses that make up the museum campus today. This special section will take an in-depth look at the restored historic structures that tell the story of Portsmouth's dynamic waterfront.

SeacoastNH.com Presents Historic Portsmouth #276
This aerial image offers a crisp document of Portsmouth’s changing waterfront in the early 1960s. The two completed portions of modern Prescott Park, as you can see, are separated by the last industrial chunk of the South End. Originally an English plantation with one house in 1631, this area became a world trade center in the 1700s crowded with tall ships. (Continued inside)

STRAWBERY BANKE MUSEUM
To preserve Portsmouth history, Strawbery Banke Museum now has a modern curatorial center. But where is it? Visitors may miss the high-tech facility tucked under the trees among a row of historic buildings. Designed by JSA Architects, it looks old – and it’s full of old things – but the Carter Center is as brand new.
