A Living History Presentation by Sankofa Tour Guide Nathan Harris
Once enslaved, now free to enter contract labor for wages, Cyrus Bruce is the elegantly tailored footman and majordomo serving the household of New Hampshire’s first elected governor after the Revolutionary War. Bruce might be discreet about sharing the personal adventures that led him to Portsmouth but freely describes his role in this mansion and his appreciation for being a member of this vibrant Black community.
