The hotel housed the delegates to the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth in 1905 that ended the Russo-Japanese War. The exclusive luxury hotel, had visitors such as Prince Charles, Roosevelts, Kennedys and a host of other celebrities.

- Odiorne Point State Park - Odiorne State Park was a “true wilderness” until about 400 years ago. The first people to discover Odiorne Point were the Abenaki and Penacook Native American tribes. They referred to Odiorne Point as “Pennaway” and only stopped in the area when passing through. During this time, they took advantage of the plentiful resources all around. This included fishing on the coast and digging in the sand for clams and mussels. Permanent settlement began in the 1600’s. In 1623, an Englishman by the name of David Thompson sailed on a ship named the Jonathan, that planned to settle along the coast of New England. This ship would be the first to settle in New Hampshire on Odiorne Point. Years later in 1660, John Odiorne joined this settlement and went on to acquire many acres of land and shoreline including what is now the state park and would later be named after John Odiorne. Also located on this site are multiple forts and bunkers that date back to the Civil War.
