Portsmouth Attractions

The Commodore Theatre

Old Towne Portsmouth
Portsmouth is a quaint seaport city that has managed to hold on to its 18th and 19th-century history and charm for more than 250 years. Still standing is the original downtown intersection that the city's founder, Col. William Crawford, dedicated to public use -- one corner each for a church, a market, a courthouse, and a jail. In fact, Trinity Episcopal Church on the southwest corner -- founded in 1762 -- still rings its bells across the street from the 1846 Courthouse that now serves as a museum. With six districts listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places, Portsmouth is a history lover's paradise.

Virginia Sports Hall of Fame
Established in 1972, the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and Museum honors more than 200 Virginia athletes, coaches, administrators, educators and journalists who have made a major impact on the world of sports.  The Hall of Fame honors great champions and celebrates the great characters of Virginia’s rich sports history.  The Hall is one of only about 16 official state sports halls of fame in the country and a member of the International Association of Sports Museums and Halls of Fame.  More than 45 National Hall of Famers are among its ranks, as are more than 30 of the Top 50 athletes of the century recognized by Sports Illustrated.
