A 90-minute overview of the Black Heritage Trail is just right for a first visit to Portsmouth or for those who prefer an alternative to a walking tour. Our well-trained and experienced Sankofa Scholars tell the stories of Black people from 1645, as they arrived on the colonial-era wharves lining the waterfront, until the year 2000 when New Hampshire joined 49 other states by adopting the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
Unless otherwise noted, Portsmouth trolley tours meet at 2 pm at 222 Court Street. Please plan to arrive by 1:45 pm. For parking information in Portsmouth, please visit: PARK PORTSMOUTH
