Moffatt-Ladd House and Gardens
located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire
The Moffatt-Ladd house is actually a National Historic Landmark dating back to 1763. The grounds include some very nice period gardens originally laid out in the late 1800s by Alexander Ladd, descendent of the original owner John Moffatt, who was also an garden enthusiast. The formal gardens wind from the house up a path alongside four terraces, with steps leading up to the flower beds. There is also a grape arbour, rose plants, herb garden, and 1768 English Damask Rose. The Horse Chestnut Tree is a designated Millenium Landmark Tree for New Hampshire and was planted in 1776 by General William Whipple.
The garden is available for rentals for weddings, receptions and parties, although there is a maximum limit of 100 persons for events.
