Old NH State House was Right Downtown

In Colonial times, Portsmouth was the center of the universe for what was then a young colony known as New Hampshire.

It was also the seat of government and the first NH State House was located on this very spot. For people who spend time in front of the North Church on Market Square, they will come across this historic marker that shows where the Old NH State House was located.

Congratulations to Crystal Paradis of Portsmouth for being the first person who correctly identified the location of this weekend's "Where is This in Portsmouth?" trivia game.

Be sure to check back every Saturday to see how well you know Portsmouth.
