Reviews of John Paul Jones House (Museum)

Paul Duplessis

was wonderful to experience the history while walking through there.

We traveled 5 hours to see some historical sites and the 3 in New Hampshire were closed! The Jonh Paul Jones house is closed and no notice even on the building gives any clue to that. The web site does not warn of its closure. Fort Constitution is also closed to the public. Again no notice of closure on the site. The public rest room was open at Fort Constitution. So not a complete waste of time.

I grew up in Portsmouth and still miss every thing about it. My paternal Grandfather who moved to Portsmouth from Greece in early 1900 purchased the land that is now Pease(Airforce Base at the time). My Dad was born in 1929 after my paternal Grandmother (YiaYia) came over once my Papoo had a farm going on well on aforementioned land. Then Dad came along. He was in Germany serving our country at the time of government "stole our families land/farm". Dad tried to win them in court once he returned home and found this out So horrible!! My maternal Grandparents lived in Manchester, New Hampshire. Many memories of my greatfranparents farm!! When my grandparents moved to Portsmouth, they ended up having 6 girls and 1 boy! Brave souls!! They are all still here and well except my most dear and deepmy loved Mom (&Dad).

Very good self guided tour. Good example of how house where in the 1700's. You go through the house in less than an hour.

Peter Brzozowy

Closed, even though website says open every day. Will be closed a Long time because of work on the building. Very disappointing

Great historical exhibit on Jones, Treaty of Portsmouth negotiations, etc.

If you are interested in early American history, this house is well worth a stop. Just be warned, the John Paul Jones name was mostly attached in order to get the building historical protection, and he only lived there as a boarder for a short time. That being said, the house (run by the Portsmouth Historical Society) is in excellent condition and features artifacts from times past, as well as carefully curated rooms that give a glimpse into daily life during the revolutionary period.

Historic old house renamed to attract visitors.

What an incredible number of displays from the 1600-1900. The Historic collections of John Paul Jones, the Portsmouth Peace Treaty and the newest display of the Odd and Elegant are fascinating.

There's a collection of museum quality collectibles from John Paul Jones and the Treaty of Portsmouth. The house and furnishing are worth a visit.

Nancy Groth

An overload of documents which are interesting.....too many to fully appreciate. Not much of the furniture or family items there. Most furnishings were from that time period. Thanks to the Ladies who worked so hard to preserve historical facts.

Beautiful old colonial home. Lots of information. Walk through at your own pace.

Well kept,a piece of history

It was fun and there were some interesting things to check out. We probably spent about an hour here but some may spend less. I'd argue $7 per person is a little steep, but it was still a good time.
