Prescott Park was created and has been maintained by the terms of the last will and testament of Josie F. Prescott, a life long resident of the City of Portsmouth. It was her wish that a public park, free and accessible to all, be established along the Portsmouth waterfront replacing what had become a run down industrial area of Portsmouth. The gardens of Prescott Park serve the purpose of being both beautiful and educational. City gardeners identify the plants and flowers so visitors who might want to choose something similar for their own gardens know what they are.

Enjoy narrated Isles of Shoals and Portsmouth Harbor Tour with the added bonus of a self guided walking tour on Star Island! You'll hear the fascinating history and lore of Portsmouth Harbor as you navigate 10 miles of river and ocean out to Star Island, one of the first footholds for settlement in the new world. In the 1800's Resort hotels were built on Star and Appledore Islands and the Shoals became one of the most popular vacation spots on the New England Coast. You'll see the Oceanic hotel, which rivaled the grandest hotels of the time and is still in operation today. You may walk through the replica of Gosport Village, a fishing outpost dating back to the early 1600s which includes the picturesque Stone Chapel and several cottages. You'll also see the tallest gravestone in the state of New Hampshire, the John Smith Monument, and the Caswell Cemetary.
This cruise allows approximately 1 hour on Star Island.

Revolutionary War hero John Paul Jones lived in Portsmouth twice, the first time in 1777 while his warship “The Ranger” was being built on Badger’s Island (midway between Portsmouth and Kittery in the Piscataqua River), and the second in 1781-82 while “The America” was under construction.
The home where Jones reportedly rented a room today is a museum focused on Jones’ life and the Revolutionary War era. Built in 1758, it’s a striking Georgian-style house with a gambrel roof maintained by the Portsmouth Historical Society.
Open to the public for self-guided tours. Private tours can be arranged with advanced notice.
