DescriptionBuilt c. 1664, the Jackson House is the oldest surviving wood frame house in New Hampshire. The house was built by Richard Jackson, a woodworker, farmer, and mariner, on his family's twenty-five-acre plot.
The Jackson House resembles English post-medieval prototypes, but is notably American in its extravagant use of wood. Succeeding generations added a lean-to by 1715, and more additions in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to accommodate several different family groups sharing the house at once.
Open the first and third Saturdays, June 1 – October 15, 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Tours on the hour. Last tour at 4:00 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults, $5 seniors, $3 students, and free for Historic New England members and Portsmouth residents.
