Newport, Rhode Island
Once a thriving seaport in Colonial days, Newport became a summer playground for America's wealthiest families in the 19th century. Today it is the privileged traveler who marvels at the splendor of its historic mansions, breathtaking harbor and rustic natural beaches.
Cliff Walk
The region's most popular walk, the Cliff Walk meanders for 3.5 miles along the Atlantic Ocean coastline, offering spectacular views of the sea and many of its historic mansions. The walk has been designated a National Recreation Trail.
Rosecliff Mansion
The Rosecliff is just one of several fabulous mansions to see. Completed in 1902, Architect Stanford White modeled it after Versailles' Grand Trianon garden retreat. It was featured in the film, The Great Gatsby.
Rough Point Estate
This estate is home to one of Newport's most remarkable private collections of art. Built in 1889, it was later purchased by James B. Duke of Duke University. His daughter Doris Duke bequeathed the estate upon her death to the organization she founded to help preserve Newport Rhode Island's architectural heritage.
