Newport Historical Society

"We booked a site tour of the Colony House through the Newport Historical Society. It is part of a series of walking tours offered on a daily basis, all bookable online. Our guide Emily was knowledgeable and passionate about history and we benefited greatly from this during our tour of the Colony House. We started from the Historical Society museum and she gave us a quick overview of the history of Newport before we walked over to the Colony House. The site tour covered three floors and Emily shared the complete history of the building and its uses over the the past three centuries and gave us information about the portraits hanging on the walls. I would highly recommend this tour and the tour guide, Emily who is an asset to the historical society and their tour programme."

"They offer interesting lectures, a nice gallery space with rotating exhibits, have several properties that are well maintained--some which you can rent, a great museum/storefront offering great gifts w/store side pick-up, delivery and personalized shopping, a vast and growing collections, research services and so much more! And the staff is fantastic. ;)"

"Newport Historical Society has a few properties that our nicely maintained and this updated resource center is very nice for their lectures or for conducting research on the material they hold. The staff are very friendly and helpful."

"I think the interesting people of Newport are actually not listed with the Newport Historical Society. It was my great grandmother who must have blew them away during the gilded age. why do people bother to rate on google reviews with no actual review?"
