Description
Be a part of this beloved Portsmouth holiday tradition! Join us at Portsmouth Historical Society from November 29 through December 30 to enjoy our 34th Annual Gingerbread House Contest and Exhibition.
Theme for 2024:
Recreate your favorite holiday memory out of gingerbread! It could be an indoor scene with everyone snuggled around a cozy fire, a candy cane tree farm, a poured sugar ice skating rink – anything that takes you back to a treasured moment. Infamous memories are welcome as well – the aftermath of an epic silly string fight, the time the turkey caught fire, any story that brings a smile to your face when you tell it is fair game.
Help support Portsmouth Historical Society and the Portsmouth Advocates’ efforts to preserve our historic architecture. Just like the plaques in our Historic House Plaque Program, you can buy a cookie plaque for your gingerbread creation! Just $5 for members, and $10 for non-members.
If you live in an historic home, check out the Plaque Program. You can start the process of commissioning a plaque and research the history of your house!
