G. Willikers Toy Shop

Reviewed By Maurene_K - Dover, United States

In Portsmouth for an afternoon, I got a parking space near G. Willikers! Books & Toys. I decided to go in. The store had lots of games, puzzles, regular and creative toys, coloring books, and children's books as well as onesies for babies, footed pajamas for toddlers, and some costumes. In books, I liked the catchy title “Dragons Like Tacos 2 – The Sequel.” The illustration on the cover showed two dragons, with an arm hooked around the other’s, tossing down tacos. There were many more books for youngsters of all ages. I guessed that there were at least 250 books there. The store carried the Name Train Wooden Railway System which was letters on wheels to make a train. With the former activity area closed for so long, the owners are making plans for a pop-up specialty shop in that space in the back. The owners were very nice and also very helpful. I rate G. Willikers! Books & Toys at 5.0. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.

Love salt, so this was a must see for me. I was pleasantly surprised. There is a wonderful selection por flavored salts, plus gifts and salt related products. They also have a spa where one can schedule time (for a fee) to get a special "salt massage."

Portsmouth Historical Society

Founded in 1917, the Portsmouth Historical Society is a nonprofit devoted to the history, arts, and culture of the Portsmouth region, through acquisitions, preservation, museum exhibitions, programs, and publications. It operates the Discover Portsmouth Welcome Center and the 1758 John Paul Jones Historic House Museum and Garden, a national historic landmark. The Society also serves as the home of the Portsmouth Advocates for Historic Preservation, and the Portsmouth Marine Society Press.

Reviewed By Maurene_K - Dover, United States

After visiting the Discover Portsmouth Welcome Center, I went into the attached Portsmouth Historical Society building to see the 2021 art exhibits. The one on the first floor was titled: Twilight of American Impressionism. The featured artists were Alice Ruggles Sohier and Frederick A. Bosley. Alice Ruggles Sohier was born in Massachusetts. She had an extensive education in art. Among her instructors for advanced studies at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston were Edmund C. Tarbell and Frank Weston Benson. I liked most of her work shown in the exhibit. The oil painting titled Dahlias was my favorite. The yellow dahlias looked so delicate. I also liked the painting titled Yellow Day Lilies. Frederick A. Bosley was from Lebanon, New Hampshire. He also studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts with Edmund C. Tarbell and Frank Weston Benson. Works in this exhibit included portraits and landscapes. Most of his palette was in subdued darker shades, except for the portrait of a woman in a red kimono titled “Elizabeth in Red” which I liked. Bosley's palette was on display in a case. The exhibit upstairs was titled: Don Gorvett: Working Waterfronts. He is a contemporary artist. He does woodcuts and then makes colorized prints from them. The waterfronts were mostly Portsmouth and Ogunquit. There was also a video in which Don Gorvett demonstrated how he does the woodcuts and made his prints. He combines the traditional process with a few procedures he created. I found both exhibits worthwhile. I really liked the Impressionist exhibit. I always find every exhibit that the Portsmouth Historical Society displays to be first-rate. I rate the Portsmouth Historical Society, its John Paul Jones House, its tours, its publications, and these exhibits at 5.0. I highly recommend anything the Society does.

This is a great place to visit for a quick bite, or take as long as you want with a cup of coffee or drink. The ambiance is great and the location is fantastic.
