Newport attractions

Through the years Newport has made a name for itself in a variety of manners, first as a colony founded on religious freedom, later as the summer playground for the American socialite families with names like Astor and Vanderbilt, as a key location for the United States Navy, and then as the yachting capital of the world. Today, the stories of Newport can be enjoyed on tours through opulent ocean-side mansions, interesting museums, and historic sites such as coastal forts, lighthouses, and worship buildings.

Historic Places

Home to the oldest lending library, synagogue, continuously operating tavern and largest collection of Colonial Era structures in the country, Newport has a long legacy of celebrating history. Bristol, where the first battle of King Philip’s war in 1675 was fought and home to oldest continuous Fourth of July celebration, is ripe with American history. The Newport Bristol Heritage Passage promotes the many historic and cultural attractions within both areas.
