On Sunday, May 8, 2022, on the way back to Boston from Portland, Maine, we decided to stop by briefly at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to explore the town and see its best attractions.
Our first destination was Prescott Park. Once we crossed from Maine to New Hampshire over the Memorial Bridge, we immediately looped around to Prescott Park. Since there was no parking available here, I decided to park at the nearby Strawbery Banke Museum. We walked around Prescott Park, but found the blistering wind too chilly. We decided to proceed to Market Square to see the leading downtown shops.
When we reached Market Square, we noticed the site of the old New Hampshire State House, where the Declaration of Independence was read in 1776 and George Washington spoke in 1789. From there, we proceeded west, with Inna stopping at a few shops (like Fatface) to browse Portsmouth's unique clothing and accessories.
After some strolling around, we decided to skip lunch (as we were not hungry after eating the breakfast biscuits in Maine) and proceed to deCordova Sculpture Park on the outskirts of Boston.
