Strawbery Banke Museum is an outdoor history museum in Portsmouth filled with real old houses from centuries past. Costumed guides show what daily life looked like long ago.
It is loved for its living-history scenes, hands-on gardens, and a winter ice rink among the old homes. Visiting feels like traveling back in time.
Friendly guides in old-fashioned clothes cook, garden, and tell stories just like people did hundreds of years ago.
Real homes from many time periods let you peek inside kitchens, bedrooms, and workshops of the past.
In the cold months an outdoor ice rink appears among the old buildings, adding a festive glow to the visit.
