Walk in the footsteps of our nation’s first President. See the Portsmouth locations he visited in 1789. Hear about where he had tea with his secretary’s mother, Mrs. Lear; attended services at St. John’s Church; and was feted in a reception at Governor (then Senate President) John Langdon’s house. The tour begins and ends at Langdon House, which Washington thought “may be esteemed the first in Portsmouth.”
