Originally built in 1785 The Rockingham was once one of the most prestigious hotels in New England. It welcomed the likes of presidents Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, Ulysses Grant and the author Mark Twain.

Originally built in 1758 the old John Paul Jones house holds more ghosts than a than a Maine boat holds lobsters. Some say old John Paul Jones lingers in the room he once slept. Others have seen an angry spirit opening cabinets and slamming doors.

Over the past century world renowned acts have graced its halls including the magician Harry Houdini, gun swinging Buffalo Bill Cody and that clever fella Mark Twain. The shows were so good that the ghosts decided to stick around.

The Brewery is not only one of the best spots in Portsmouth to get a drink and a burger while in town. It’s also haunted by a flirty ghost of the night.
