Portridge

Portridge was moved to its present location in 1984, and subsequently restored.

Portridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The Garden at Portridge currently hosts special horticulture events, has a botanical garden surrounding the home and sells plants on site. It is open to visitors daily.
