The Moffatt-Ladd House, a Georgian mansion built in 1763 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, served as the home of William Whipple, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Revolutionary War general. Now a National Historic Landmark and museum owned by the National Society of Colonial Dames in New Hampshire, the house preserves Whipple's personal effects, including his sword and portrait. Notable among its grounds is a horse chestnut tree planted by Whipple in 1776 from seeds he brought back from Philadelphia. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1968 and remains open to the public.
