Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion State Historic Site, Portsmouth, NH
Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion Historic Site is the former home of New Hampshire’s first royal governor, Benning Wentworth, who served in office from 1741 to 1767.
The rambling 40-room mansion which overlooks Little Harbor, is one of the most outstanding homes remaining of the colonial era. Its stateliness and impressive interior and furnishings reflect aristocratic life in Portsmouth in the 1700s.
Grant funds were used for exterior structural and cosmetic repairs were carried out over two summers.
