PORTSMOUTH PLAINS

In the pre-dawn hours of June 26, 1696, Indians attacked the settlement here. Fourteen persons were killed and other taken captive. Five houses and nine barns were burned. This plain was the Training Field and Muster Ground. Close by stood the famous Plains Tavern (1728-1914) with its Bowling Green where many distinguished visitors were entertained.
