About Strawbery Banke

Travel back in time to explore how the Puddle Dock neighborhood changed over the centuries. Strawbery Banke Museum, located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, invites you to experience the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of daily life over time -- from the Native Abenaki people through the twentieth century residents.
Explore historic buildings and architecture, archaeological and decorative arts collections, and historical landscapes and gardens, all from the screens of your mobile devices. First watch the introductory video to find out how to scan an area and use the app. Then discover historic sites like the People of the Dawnland Indigenous history exhibit, the First Period 1695 Sherburne House and its English colonial and enslaved African residents, the Revolutionary War era William Pitt Tavern, and the 1919 home of the Russian Jewish Shapiro family.
Strawbery Banke Museum is a nonprofit organization which seeks to promote understanding of the lives of individuals and the value of community through encounters with the history and ongoing preservation of a New England waterfront neighborhood. For more information, visit strawberybanke.org.
