Adopt an Artifact Object Spotlight

Join us for this special showcase featuring items in our 2025 Adopt an Artifact
Now in its third year, Adopt an Artifact offers you a unique opportunity to engage with our collection and directly support our 2026 exhibition, “Revolutionary Portsmouth,” at the John Paul Jones House. Presented on the nation’s 250th anniversary, this exhibition will explore the lives of Portsmouth.

From everyday belongings to historically significant pieces, each artifact offers a glimpse into the choices, challenges, and identities of Portsmouth’s 18th-century residents.
