Warner House

"Amazing tour, about 40 minutes long, the tour guide Peter did an excellent job and was very enthusiastic"

"The Warner House is well worth visiting! The house is a superb example of Georgian architecture and has a lovely interior with Georgian and Federal furnishings. It features some unique murals, a gorgeous Queen Anne Highboy dresser with inlaid wood, and a ballroom with walls covered in an unusual paint made from blue glass called “smalt.” The house also features a charming garden and a lightning rod installed by Benjamin Franklin. Our tour guide, Mason, was very welcoming and knowledgeable. He gave us a delightful tour!"

"Open house with an additional display of cookware from the time period of the day, ie; the heavy metal. Enjoyable, but, brief tour. House and belongings are in great condition. Garden is well maintained. They actually fed me lunch! Either my diet is working to well or they had food for the staff that they didn't want to throw away. History was interesting. A lot to read! Worth a visit!"

"We had a very informative and enjoyable tour today at the Warner House. Cory was our tour guide and he was incredibly knowledgeable about early American history. The house has been very well preserved and the smaltz walls in the ballroom are worth the trip alone! Thank you, Cory, for a really awesome tour!"

"The MacPheadris-Warner House, c. 1716. Built for a Scots-Irish sea captain, this is the oldest urban brick house in northern New England. A member of the King's Council, Archibaild MacPheadris was a successful merchant and ship owner, and principal investor for Lamprey Iron Works, the first iron works in New Hampshire. The house passed through family ownership of MacPheadris and Warners until 1932 when it was purchased by the Warner House association. This association, a group of preservationists led by Edith Wendell, later opened a historic house museum. the MacPheadris-Warner House was declared a National Historic Landmark and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places."
