Archibald Macpheadris was a wealthy sea merchant who built the Warner House mansion (c. 1716) at 150 Daniel Street in Portsmouth.  Very little has ever been known about the early days of Macpheadris.  From a diary written in 1689 at the Siege of Derry, we can now talk about Archibald Macpheadris as a young boy in Northern Ireland. You will certainly find this to be an amazing story -- an almost unbelievable story!  This lecture will follow Macpheadris from Northern Ireland to Boston -- and finally to Portsmouth.  Also included in this lecture are some recently discovered stories from merchants and others related to the character and business acumen of Captain Macpheadris.

All talks will start at noon with soup available at 11:30.  Tickets are $10 each for non-members, or Warner House members are FREE. Join today to come for free! To purchase a ticket as a non-member, visit our PayPal to donate, choose Other, and pay $10.
