Lebanon, Maine

We relocated to southern Maine yesterday and will explore the state by car from here for a while. Today we visited the Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Calling this a museum is a bit of a misnomer. It is more of a collection of old restored homes from the early days of this area's history - each furnished and/or decorated in different times from the late 1700's through the 1950's.

From there we drove out to New Castle Island and visited Fort Constitution State Park. This site commemorates the first victory of the American Revolution on December 14-15, 1774. There isn't much there but it is indeed a very historic place in our history.



We finished our day by taking a tour of Red Hook Brewery back in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The tour was interesting and the beer tasting afterwords was fun.
