Portsmouth Historical Society 2020 Survey

Dear Supporter,

Thank you for your support of The Portsmouth Historical Society. We have a new Five Year Strategic Plan that identifies our critical goals to support the historical record and current relevance of our rich history. Two core goals of the Plan include programming and member engagement. To assist us in our planning, we need your advice.

Thank you for your valuable input.
