My second visit, this time we had a more verbose guide who was very interesting. Well worth a visit for any history buff, but give yourself a good couple of hours.

Great little museum highlighting the Colonial history of Exeter and the colonial era in America in general with a very knowledgeable staff and fun activities They just sponsored a town wide Independence Festival with loads of reenactors firing muskets and canons and showing camp life during the revolution.I hope they sponsor another day next year!

The docents here are really informative and know all kinds of details that make the history more interesting. We learned so much and had a great time here. Spent a couple hours looking through the museum and reading the parts we were interested in (which was most of it :-).

We stopped here as a spur of the moment decision while travelling to Portsmouth NH. What a brilliant decision, our whole trip was made fantastic by our super friendly and knowledgeable volunteer who guided us round. Exhibitions were well laid out, lots of fascinating details and objects.

I recommend the Independence Celebration in July, because theres more to do and see and I love all the craftpeople and demonstraters, but its also very nice on its own. Small but very informative.

Relatively small, but historic museum. Rooms are packed with artifacts, which is a plus, but the information provided is a little on the sparse side.

Everyone needs to tour this museum - after all, there is so much to be proud of in Exeter and the role it played during the formation of our United States!

This organization needs to learn how to properly display our Flag. Im disappointed that a group such as this is hanging the Flag improperly.
