One of the homeowners on this year’s Kitchen Tour to Benefit The Music Hall liked her previous kitchen so much, she used it as inspiration when she remodeled her Portsmouth home a few years back. Her old kitchen had a banquette, a couch seating area, and French doors that opened to the back. Read More

To love Portsmouth is to love its history. It is 16.8 square miles of grand old homes in grand old neighborhoods. It has a working seaport with its own special backstory. It has a front row seat along the Piscataqua and a terrific sight line toward the Isles of Shoals.
But about those neighborhoods. They tell the story of Portsmouth as well as any of our beloved city’s features. And this year’s Kitchen Tour to Benefit The Music Hall is centered in the Little Harbour neighborhood, among the city’s most popular communities.Read More

People who find their forever homes are fortunate people. They love a place so much they never want to leave it. Talk about a dream home.

And good for all of us who love The Kitchen Tour to Benefit The Music Hall, as we have one of the residents here to thank. She was a founding member of the theater’s board and co-chair of the inaugural tour. And she’s still giving back by welcoming us into her delightful kitchen this year. Read More
