Description

The Jonathan Hamilton House, also known as the Hamilton House, is a historic house built between 1787 and 1788 by a merchant from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It was acquired by preservationist friends of South Berwick native Sarah Orne Jewett at the turn of the 20th century, and is now a historic house museum owned by Historic New England. Open for tours between June and October, it is one of the region's quintessential country estates of that era. The house features two whimsical murals commissioned by the women as well as antique furnishings and handcrafted decorative arts they collected.
