About the Buildings Strawbery Banke Museum is unique in
preserving neighborhood buildings original to their sites, buildings
from other Portsmouth locations rescued from demolition, and a
vast collection of objects from Portsmouth’s past.
32 buildings at Strawbery Banke are on their original sites. Four
were moved here to save them from demolition. Research and
archaeology provide an historical background for the restorations.
Additional research into the lives of former residents continues the
story and provides the basis for interpretation.
Strawbery Banke Museum is a not-for-profit educational
organization supported by admissions, sales, contributions
and membership. Strawbery Banke Museum is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
