Join us for another of Richard Adam’s fascinating cemetery tours. This tour will include the gravesites
of Revolutionary War heroes William Whipple and John Langdon, Captain Nutter, Thomas
Bailey Aldrich's grandfather, featured prominently in his "The Story of a Bad Boy", several
notable shipbuilders from Portsmouth's glory days as a maritime hub, and many others. We will
have headsets so everyone can hear Richard’s extensive commentary. This event is organized by
the East Cluster, and all members are welcome. Following the tour, we plan to go to lunch with Village attendees at one of the many North End restaurants.

About Our Guide
Richard Adams, Portsmouth native, has a longstanding interest in local (and world) history. He graduated with a BA from Harvard in 1962, and was a Marine Corps aviator, with two tours in Vietnam. His extended family (the Griffins) own most of the South Cemetery, so he was able to work there during summers and school vacations for years, inspiring him to learn more about the people interred there.
