Part of the Preservation Society of Newport County, our garden is one of 11 historic properties open to the public, each telling the story of Newport's rich architectural heritage. Founded in 1639, Newport blossomed into a bustling port city and a fashionable resort during the Gilded Age, a period of opulence and transformation in America. Today, you can explore these grand "summer cottages" and learn about the fascinating people and events that shaped this era.

We recommend downloading the free Newport Mansions tour app and bringing your own smart device and earbuds for a rich, informative experience. For those without smart devices, printed scripts are available at most locations.
