Donate to the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion June 9-10
The Association is proudly participating in NH Gives on June 9-10. Support the Mansion during this 24 hour, statewide day of giving!
The Association’s current focus is the reinterpretation of Governor Benning Wentworth’s public rooms. We are working on lighting improvements, accessibility, and funding new paint studies for future updates. This summer we also have a number of lectures planned discussing the rich history of the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion and the region.
A donation during NH Gives supports all of these projects. Find out more here.
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.
