Get ready for an unforgettable evening of brain-teasing fun and local pride! The Portsmouth Historical Society is thrilled to host its 8th Annual Portsmouth History Trivia Night, this year in the historic Montaup Country Club — once the 18th-century homestead of William A. Chase.

The trivia showdown kicks off at 7 PM, with the doors opening at 6:30 PM, and it’s shaping up to be our most exciting yet.

Bring your own food and make it a feast! Whether it’s pizza, picnic fare, or your team’s secret snack stash, you’re welcome to enjoy your own spread while you play. Drinks will be available for purchase at the bar.

Last year’s event sold out fast, with every seat filled for a lively, laughter-filled competition. Seating is limited to 125, so don’t wait — book your spot today!

To register, email phsinfo@portsmouthhistorical.org with your team name, number of players (4–6), and a contact number. Flying solo? No problem — we’ll match you up with fellow history buffs!

Returning as our dynamic emcee is Joe Cassady, Portsmouth High School’s beloved AP History teacher. With his quick wit and infectious enthusiasm, Joe guarantees an evening full of laughter, friendly rivalry, and plenty of “aha!” moments.

suggested donation of $10 per table will be collected at the door to support the Portsmouth Historical Society.

Every question celebrates Portsmouth’s fascinating past — from legendary locals and landmark sites to surprising stories, art, and even historic weather events. Want to prep for the challenge? Explore Portsmouth’s rich history on our website before the big night!

Mark your calendar for February 19th — bring your best trivia team, your local pride, and your competitive spirit.
The challenge is on — will your team make Portsmouth history?
