The Moffatt-Ladd House & Garden is now closed for the season. We’ll reopen for guided tours June 1, 2023. Thank you to everyone who visited for a wonderful season! For more details, please click here.
The purpose of the Moffatt-Ladd House and Garden is to interpret American, New Hampshire, and Portsmouth history through the lives and possessions of the inhabitants of the house, both free and enslaved.
The Society collects and preserves objects and manuscripts appropriate to this history. The Moffatt-Ladd House is a National Historic Landmark Building and a member of the Great American Treasures program of NSCDA.
