A History of Portsmouth NH in 101 Objects -Book Party & Signing

Join us at the Portsmouth Public Library as we celebrate the publication of A History of Portsmouth NH in 101 Objects. Created as a city-wide legacy project for the Portsmouth NH 400th anniversary, the book includes 101 objects symbolizing the spirit of Portsmouth and its history beginning before European contact and continuing throughout the 400 years since. Treasured objects are matched with intriguing texts from 80 experts to commemorate and illustrate the history of this special place. This is a compilation that unites many local voices to celebrate Portsmouth’s unique, diverse and wide-ranging history.

The celebration kicks off with welcoming remarks in the library's Levenson Community Room and continues with opportunities to view a selection of the objects included in the book and to meet many of the authors who contributed to the publication. Copies of A History of Portsmouth NH in 101 Objects will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Books are also available in advance at RiverRun Bookstore located at 32 Daniels St. Portsmouth, NH.
