I enjoyed the tour and learning about the history of the house 🏠 and the people who lived and visited there. The house is well preserved and the belongings, furniture, paintings, utensils, ECT, still being maintained inside was fascinating to see 🙈. I even had a chance to look at the attic. I'm very interested in history, especially of the city of Portsmouth and I enjoyed my visit on Market Square Day. The garden is fantastic! I was told that more flowers 💐🌹 will bloom later. The aroma while walking through the garden reminded me of the gardens I visited in England. The horse 🐴 chestnut tree that was planted in 1776 to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence is still standing and you can get a horse chestnut 🌰 at the entrance. If you are into history, I recommend a visit. Tours are every 45 minutes and the house is not open during the winter ❄️.

I visited the Moffatt-Ladd House & Garden back in September during my three-day trip to Portsmouth. This was a fun tour with a highly knowledgeable guide, although the tour ran a bit long due to her enthusiasm. Plan for about ninety minutes to take the full tour and explore the gardens. The house has a great gift shop with souvenirs for every price point, along with a beautifully designed website, and an online shop. This is a must-see for history buffs and families looking to learn more about American history, along with photographers who love furniture, wallpaper, and architectural features.

A fascinating house. The history of both owners and enslaved people who lived here was brought to life by the fabulous docent we had. Some rooms are restored and others left as is to show what it looked like 250 years ago. It's history is amazing and the gardens lend that touch of reality, like the family still lives there. The warehouse shows how lovingly and correctly everything is being restored. The horse chestnut tree brings it all together. Worth stopping here the next time you are in the Portsmouth area.

A wonderfully restored house with so much history. Being new to New England, we loved the glimpse into history that our guide gave us. The hand carved wood details and wallpaper that doesn't repeat were some of my favorite features original to the house. The gardens are gorgeous and invite you to just curl up under a tree and never leave. I was fascinated by the pigeon holes. You must ask about them if you go your if for a surprise. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to see a bit of the past.

Add to your stops! We enjoyed the Moffatt-Ladd House more than we anticipated! The docent led tour was amazing, packed with stories, points of history and specific knowledge on the different families and generations who lived here. Come with your mind open and ready to learn about the home William Whipple, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence lived in - it's a gem in American History. Our total for entry was $36, we're seniors!

What aa amazing and lovely house museum. Wow. Stopped in spur of the moment and luckily had Marsha as a tour guide. She was great. House is spectacular and it’s pretty much all accessible. The set of Chinese Chippendale chairs in the parlor was breathtaking. I’ve been to house museums all over England and New England and this one is top of the list. Go, just go!
