One of our favorite houses on the historic Portsmouth Legends and Ghosts walk is the Peirce Mansion. Built in 1799, it’s grandeur often has our guests snapping photos. We love to explain how the mansion was moved back from the street during the adjacent church construction many years ago.

“The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” — Abraham Lincoln
