Portsmouth sits across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, a city of brick streets, naval history, and a lively Olde Towne. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Museum and the Children's Museum of Virginia anchor the waterfront district, and the Portsmouth Art and Cultural Center, in the 1846 courthouse, hosts gallery shows. A passenger ferry crosses the river to Norfolk, giving visitors skyline views and a harbor breeze, and the Hill House Museum, a historic home from the early 1800s, opens a window onto the city's merchant past. Portsmouth was founded in 1752, and its historic district still shows that age.
