Strawbery Banke Museum<\/a> is an interactive journey back in time. Portsmouth was originally called Strawbery Banke when it was settled in 1623, and the museum lets kids get a glimpse into the personal histories of residents over the past 400 years. It is fun to browse inside the authentically replicated 1940\u2019s general store and see how some product packaging was almost exactly as it is today.
