Thank you!

This was our third year participating in NH Gives, a statewide day of giving. Thank you to everyone who supported the Mansion through their gift this year.

We are looking forward to moving ahead on a few key restoration projects, and funds from NH Gives will help us do just that!

A treasured heritage

Dear Friends,

 

We hope this message finds you well. We want to share an exciting opportunity with you, as valued supporters of the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion, to help preserve and enhance one of New Hampshire’s most treasured historic landmarks.

 

Perched above Little Harbor, the 37-room Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion—once home to New Hampshire’s first royal governor, Benning Wentworth—is a rare and remarkable example of colonial architecture. As one of the few surviving residences of a colonial Royal Governor in the United States, and a designated National Historic Landmark, the Mansion offers a vivid glimpse into Portsmouth’s political and social life in the 1700s.
