In and Around Newport

Newport was founded in 1639, so there’s lots of history here. Here are a few thing to think about visiting while you are here:

Mansions – During the Gilded Age, America’s wealthiest families flocked to the City-by-the-Sea and its surrounding areas, making the area their summertime playground. From the Vanderbilts to American tobacco heiress Doris Duke, the colossal Newport RI mansions were built as their summer homes overlooking the crystal blue waters of the Atlantic. http://www.newportmansions.org/
