Portsmouth On the Map
Maps from our collection were on display for
the 2007 season in our downstairs museum. They included a map of the
Fort Butts Area, Portsmouth Water Works, Newtown Village, historic
Portsmouth maps and current town land maps.
Jim Garman, Portsmouth's local historian,
presented "Historic Maps of Portsmouth : Much Can Be Learned". Jim
shared maps from his personal collection along with discoveries that he
learned using maps from 1835 through the 1920s. Those attending the
opening were presented with a reproduction map suitable for framing of
"Newtown, Portsmouth Village". The 8X10 map was digitally reproduced
from a map in our collection. |
