Detailed Itinerary

The journey, in full

This building was originally built in 1814 and has changed hands more times than a sailor's eaten a bowl of clam chowder. And that’s most likely due to the ghosts that haunt the joint. This old building dates back to 1815 and in its heyday, it once housed one of the most popular brothels in the city. Built-in 1749, this pre-revolutionary building is one of the oldest still standing in Portsmouth. Below its foundation once ran the underground tunnel system that secretly connected many of the buildings in Portsmouth. The burial ground is said to be the largest of its kind in the United States and it’s believed that over 200 people from the African American community were buried here. Originally built in 1785 The Rockingham was once one of the most prestigious hotels in New England. It welcomed the likes of presidents Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, Ulysses Grant, and the author Mark Twain. Originally built in 1758 the old John Paul Jones house holds more ghosts than a Maine boat holds lobsters. Some say old John Paul Jones lingers in the room he once slept. Others have seen an angry spirit opening cabinets and slamming doors. Over the past century, world-renowned acts have graced its halls including the magician Harry Houdini, gun-swinging Buffalo Bill Cody, and that clever fella Mark Twain. The shows were so good that the ghosts decided to stick around. The Brewery is not only one of the best spots in Portsmouth to get a drink and a burger while in town. It’s also haunted by a flirty ghost of the night.
