Overflowing With Views, This Historic Site In New Hampshire Is A Great Day Trip Destination
New Hampshire is big on views and big on history! We probably all remember visiting museums and historic homes on field trips when we were younger, but these destinations have an even bigger impact now that we’re older. We can appreciate how much of the Granite State is filled with stories and tales that have made us what we are today. If you love this as much as us, head to Portsmouth to check out this historic site that mixes history with views.

Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
