The history in this one building was very impressive. Our tour guide, Sandy, gave us a great tour, and knew just about everything that had ever happened there. Original house was build 250 years ago, but has had many extensive additions, changes, and remodels since. Furniture and woodworking detail were fabulous. Allow an hour for this site - tour (she did a full tour for just the two of us) was a bit over 45 minutes, and then we toured the garden. Even in October they had nice flowers. Would really like to see this in late spring/early summer.

Sarah was our personal tour guide of this interesting historical residence. You can tell she really loves history and loves what she does as she made the personal tour most interesting. A must-see visit while in Portsmouth. Beautiful gardens.

Drawn by its imposing exterior and location overlooking the harbor, we decided to visit this historic house but were unprepared for the beautiful, ornate interiors. The gracious two-story entry hall with a grand staircase is splendid with imported European 18th c. wallpaper depicting the Bay of Naples. The sitting room includes a fascinating series of family portraits and an entire suite of original Chinese Chippendale furniture. Renovated by the second generation of inhabitants, the dining room shows all the features of a fine Neo-Classical interior that was very fashionable in the early 1800's. Upstairs the bedrooms provide intimate glances into the lives of the original inhabitants, and the top floor nursery is especially touching with its well-used toys and schoolbooks. Behind the house, a lovely garden lures the visitor to enjoy its quiet, colorful spaces. The knowledgeable guide answered all our questions and explained the authenticity of the objects on view and the decor of each room. We thoroughly enjoyed this unexpected treasure.

Had missed this the last time and was glad to have had the chance this year.Well informed but stressed guide gave a full run through of the history and about the building and contents in spite of being under the weather from the noxious fumes from a restoration.Stairway in the front hall is impressive.

I recommend visiting this historical site at least once. The house and gardens are beautiful and the museum is pretty interesting. This was definitely an important place in U.S history and its worth visiting.

I was happy to present a pigeon demonstration at the Annual celebration tour. I was so impressed with the property and gardens. The warehouse is really spectacular. I can't wait to go back with my family. I wish I had time to enjoy all the presentations.

I love going inside historic homes and this one was a treat, inside and out. Great location. The staff was very helpful with stories of the town and the neighborhood. Just one of many homes you can tour in downtown Portsmouth.

this house is right downtown and across from the wear. It is fascinating to hear about the owners, see some of the furniture and get a sense of what it was like in the early times in our country,

The Moffat Ladd house is the mansion/home of a wealthy Portsmouth merchant that was built in the 1760's and which you can take a narrated tour of. It was one of the first homes with a dining room. There is also a very nice garden behind the house and it has harbor views. A worthwhile visit.

My husband and I were in town for the day on a random Tuesday. We ended up getting a private tour from one of the sweetest ladies ever. She was funny and full of history both in Portsmouth and the Moffatt/Ladd family. The house is as beautiful as it is unique and the garden was magical. We had a blast going through the house and garden. Well worth the visit. Tip: um they don't take them, tips that is. Our guide said she would donate it to the house after we refused to take the tip back.
