Moffatt-Ladd House and Garden Museum in Portsmouth preserves a Georgian residence associated with merchants, a Declaration of Independence signer and the people who lived and worked in the household.
Its garden adds another layer to the property’s interpretation.
The photograph shows the historic house. Check current seasonal guided tours and separate garden access before arriving. The museum interprets both free and enslaved inhabitants, so allow time for those histories beyond decorative rooms. Discuss mobility needs and group bookings in advance and respect conservation restrictions within the preserved interiors.
