Celebrate 250 years of independence beneath one of Portsmouth’s most historic landmarks. 🌳 Join us on June 13 for our Tree of Independence Festival, honoring the historic horse chestnut tree planted 250 years ago by a signer of the Declaration of Independence, William Whipple, and his enslaved servant, Prince, upon Whipple’s return from Pennsylvania in 1776.
This special experience is included with a self-guided house tour, a garden tour, or for attendees of our Colonial Crafts: Basket Making workshop earlier that morning.
🎟️ Tickets are available online or in person.
Enjoy a day of festive food, lectures, activities, and more as we commemorate this powerful moment in history during America’s semiquincentennial.
Will we see you there?
