Łamacze

W końcu docieramy do najważniejszego wydarzenia w Newport: The Breakers. Ta rezydencja Vanderbiltów jest największą i najlepszą ze wszystkich letnich domków w Newport - i możesz to stwierdzić. Spojrzymy poza bramę, przez rozległe trawniki, aż do magicznej i cudownej fasady rezydencji. Podczas pobytu tutaj zagłębimy się w historię Vanderbilta, cuda architektury rezydencji i wiele więcej. Przyjrzymy się także cudom techniki działającym pod powierzchnią Breakers.
