The first skating rink built was located on the northwest corner of 6th and Court and was called the Palais. The second rink was the Monarch which was located on Washington Street. Others that followed were the Richardson and Massie Hall. The most popular was the rink at Millbrook Park pavilion in New Boston.

On July 12, 1879, Portsmouth Woolen Mills opened at 4th and Chillicothe Streets. They advertised that they were ready to “card, spin and weave” and they paid “the highest market price for wool”. Starting with 32 employees, by 1881 they increased to 45 workers and added 14 more knitting machines. It was noted that the company manufactured over 1,200 lbs. of yarn and over 2,500 pair of socks weekly. The plant closed in foreclosure in April, 1893.

My high school, Portsmouth High School, graduated 1978. Torn down several years ago. It was beautiful-sorry it is gone. "Once a Trojan always a Trojan!"
