Step over the threshold of history to life in New Hampshire's oldest seacoast neighborhood. Experience life from the late 1600s to the 1950s in this neighborhood known as Puddle Dock. The site, known today as Strawbery Banke Museum, offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of everyday people who called this area home for nearly four centuries.
Named by the first settlers in 1630 for the profusion of wild berries found on the shores of the Piscataqua River, Strawbery Banke is rich with history: George Washington, Daniel Webster, John Paul Jones and John Hancock were all guests on this site.
Our friendly lanes will lead you through the centuries of time. Stop at furnished historic houses to experience household changes and continuities; join costumed role-players as they go about their daily lives and celebrate holiday traditions; relax in the shade of award-winning period gardens and experience the connection between inside and outside living spaces; learn the importance of preservation and restoration through the story of how this 10 acre site was saved from urban redevelopment in the 1950s.
Call for seasonal hours.
