This year’s hours are 4:30-8 pm on Friday, August 11. To make this evening memorable, the theme is “Dining Through History!” Each site offers a unique look at dining with light refreshments served throughout the evening.   Perfect for antique collectors and connoisseurs of 18th and 19th century houses, the Twilight Tour is the perfect complement to the annual Northeast Auctions Marine Sale Preview, the same night.  In advance, adults $18, children under 12 $8. At the door: Adults $20, children $10. Each ticket is good for admission to each of the 9 participating sites on the night of the Twilight Tours.  Tickets are also valid for the balance of the 2017 season for admission to participating museums.  Proceeds of the tour benefit the member sites of the Portsmouth Historic Sites Associates, Inc. (PHSA), and PHSA joint programming.

Strawbery Banke Museum
Strawbery Banke Museum
Strawbery Banke Museum, in the heart of historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is an authentic 10-acre outdoor history museum dedicated to bringing 300+ years of American history in the same waterfront neighborhood to life. The Museum is a place for children, adults, multigenerational families, and groups to gather to explore eight heritage gardens, 32 historic buildings, and traditional crafts, preservation programs, hands-on activities, the stories told by costumed role-players and the changing exhibits that offer hours of fun and discovery. The Museum's restored buildings and open space invite visitors to immerse themselves in the past, using objects from the museum's collection of 30,000 artifacts, and the histories of the families who lived and worked in the Puddle Dock neighborhood to engage, educate, and entertain.
