General Porter House is a historic site located in Portsmouth, NH, renowned for its connection to General Fitz John Porter, a prominent figure in American military history. The house, originally the birthplace of General Porter, has a rich narrative tied to his contributions during the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War, as well as the controversies surrounding his court martial.

In addition to the house, visitors can explore the equestrian statue of General Porter situated in Haven Park, which commemorates his legacy. The statue was funded by a donation from R. H. Eddy and dedicated in 1906, symbolizing General Porter's eventual exoneration and the recognition of his commendable service to the nation.
