Hicks House - Country Store

The Hicks House, circa 1715, was moved from Bristol Ferry Road, Portsmouth in 1970. It is thought to have been used, in its earliest period, by the ferrymen who operated between Portsmouth and Bristol at the site of the current Mt. Hope Bridge. It is a very simple structure of never more than two rooms with a barely usable loft space. The building is used today as the visitor’s center and displays a collection of 18th and 19th century rural oddments.
