Portsmouth

Among the cities of southern Ohio, Portsmouth stands out for its location at the meeting of the Scioto and Ohio rivers. The city developed as a river port, and its waterfront still defines the rhythm of downtown, with Kentucky lying across the Ohio. Portsmouth's floodwall is covered with large murals tracing local stories, from Indigenous life and early settlement to industry and river commerce. A few blocks inland, the Boneyfiddle district preserves a compact streetscape of older commercial buildings and remains a focus for local arts and events. The Ohio River valley gives Portsmouth a setting distinct from Ohio's larger inland cities. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Portsmouth and the Ohio River valley.
