Summary: Staying at the Tobias Lear House in Portsmouth was definitely a 'bucket list' opportunity for my wife and me. We have visited Portsmouth many times, always staying in the downtown area and taking our leisurely strolls through the South Mill Pond area. Well, a few years ago after visiting the Wentworth Museum, we learned the Tobias Lear House can be rented for overnight stays, and we couldn't pass up this opportunity. It did NOT disappoint! The detail of Mr. Foster's efforts (and the crew who did the work) to return the home to its glory of 1760 is amazing. My wife and I are both lovers of everything this home represents and truly enjoyed our stay. The ability to disconnect from today's technology world and just sit and take in the quiet comfort of this home, was not lost on us. Plus, the opportunity to enjoy tea in the same room George Washington had tea in 1789 was surreal. This was just such a great experience. Thank you for making this home available for people to appreciate a small piece of American history first hand.
