Staycations in New England
Portsmouth, N.H.: Morning
Miles from downtown Boston: 63
Drive time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
9 a.m. Get your caffeine fix, and at least one of the namesake pastries, at Popovers on the Square (pictured) (8 Congress St., Portsmouth, 603-431-1119), where half the town seems to convene for morning gossip.
10 a.m. Spend hours touring historic homes and watching demonstrations — from hearth cooking to pottery making —at the Strawbery Banke Museum (14 Hancock St., Portsmouth, 603-433-1100), a re-creation of everyday American life spanning the late 17th century to the 1950s. For kids, there’s also an interactive discovery center and daily garden craft program.
