Czego oczekiwać
1
Centrum informacji dla odwiedzających Newport
Nasza podróż zaczyna się w centrum Newport, tuż obok centrum dla zwiedzających Newport. Gdy wyruszymy do serca Newport, zanurzymy się w przeszłość, aby dowiedzieć się o czasach świetności Newport: wieku pozłacanym. Ta era nouveau-rich amerykańskich elit, takich jak Vanderbilts i Astors, została naznaczona wspaniałymi rezydencjami. Jako napęd zbadamy architekturę i architektów stojących za tymi projektami.
2
Międzynarodowa Tenisowa Galeria Sław
Na skrzyżowaniu International Tennis Hall of Fame skręcimy w słynną Bellevue Avenue – najdroższą aleję w Ameryce. Za chwilę zobaczymy najwspanialsze domy, jakie kiedykolwiek zbudowano w tym kraju... żartobliwie zwane „domkami letniskowymi”. Możesz zatrzymać się tutaj, aby zajrzeć do Galerii sław, w której znajdują się wielcy tenisiści.
3
Wiązy
Wreszcie zobaczymy Elms. To arcydzieło zostało zaprojektowane dla barona węglowego Edwarda Juliusa Berwinda i zainspirowane francuskim Château d'Asnières. Tutaj będziemy chcieli zwolnić tak bardzo, jak to możliwe, aby usłyszeć o Berwindach - i może wjechać do środka na wycieczkę!
4
Aleja Bellevue
Kiedy zauważymy pomnik pana Belmonta, wyłączymy Bellevue. Kierujemy się teraz w stronę jednych z największych i najwspanialszych rezydencji w Newport — i technicznie rzecz biorąc, nie znajdują się one nawet na tej słynnej, drogiej alei! Podczas jazdy dowiemy się trochę o Belmont - którego fascynująca historia wrócimy, gdy zobaczymy kolejny wielki dom później na trasie.
5
Ochrowy Sąd
Ochre Court natychmiast zatrzyma nasze oczy! Ta zamkowa rezydencja kosztowała 4,5 miliona dolarów... w 1892 roku. I to widać! Ta rezydencja, będąca teraz centralnym punktem Uniwersytetu Salve Regina, nie jest otwarta dla zwiedzających… ale to nie powstrzyma nas przed poznaniem jej bogatej i fascynującej historii!
6
Château-sur-Mer
Wracając w kierunku Bellevue Avenue, zatrzymamy się, aby przyjrzeć się delikatnemu pięknu Chateau-sur-Mer. Jest to nie tylko pierwsza rezydencja z epoki pozłacanej w Newport, ale także szczyci się jednym z najpiękniejszych, zielonych, rozległych ogrodów. Zarówno dom, jak i ogrody są otwarte na wycieczkę fakultatywną.
7
Narodowe Muzeum Ilustracji Amerykańskich
Zaraz na rogu Bellevue zatrzymamy się jeszcze raz, by rzucić okiem na Vernon Court. W tej rezydencji znajduje się skarb innego rodzaju: Narodowe Muzeum Ilustracji Amerykańskich. Fani Normana Rockwella po prostu nie mogą pominąć tego ukrytego klejnotu.
8
Farma Hammersmitha
Nasza podróż prowadzi nas do Hammersmith Farm, rodzinnego domu Jackie Kennedy. Jackie i JFK później wrócili tutaj na lato, ciesząc się tą samą scenerią, widokami i bryzą, którą czujesz dzisiaj!
9
Park stanowy Fort Adams
Będziemy kontynuować zarówno naszą lekcję historii, jak i podróż do Fort Adams, odkrywając to historyczne miejsce i jego znaczenie dla niepodległości Newport.

Newport Visitors Information Center
Our journey begins in downtown Newport, just by the Newport Visitor Center. As we set off into the heart of Newport, we'll dive into the past to learn about Newport's hey-day: the Gilded Age. This era of nouveau-riche American elites like the Vanderbilts and Astors has been marked by gorgeous mansions. We'll explore the architecture and architects behind these designs as drive. Note: The 12-mile tour covers the essentials of scenic Newport, Rhode Island in 1-2 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.
11
International Tennis Hall of Fame
At the International Tennis Hall of Fame intersection, we'll turn onto the famed Bellevue Avenue -- the most expensive avenue in America. We're about to see the most magnificent homes ever built in this country... facetiously known as "summer cottages". You can choose to pause here to check ou the Hall of Fame, which features tennis greats.
12
The Elms
Finally, we'll see the Elms. This masterpiece was designed for the coal baron Edward Julius Berwind, and inspired by France's Château d'Asnières. Here we'll want to slow down as much as possible to hear about the Berwinds -- and maybe pull inside for a tour!
13
Bellevue Avenue
When we spot Mr. Belmont's statue, we'll turn off Bellevue. We're now heading towards some of the largest and finest mansions in Newport -- and they're technically not even on this famously expensive avenue! As we drive, we'll learn a bit about Belmont -- whose fascinating story we'll pick back up when we see another grand house later on the tour.
14
Ochre Court
Ochre Court will immediately arrest our eyes! This châteauesque mansion cost of $4.5 million... in 1892. And it certainly shows! Now the centerpiece of the Salve Regina University, this mansion isn't open for tours... but that won't stop us from learning all about it's rich and fascinating history!
15
Chateau-sur-Mer
As we head back towards Bellevue Avenue, we'll pause to check out the delicate beautfy of Chateau-sur-Mer. Not only is the first Gilded Age mansion in Newport, it also boasts one of the most beautiful, green, sprawling gardens. Both the house and the gardens are open for an optional tour.
16
National Museum of American Illustration
Right on the corner of Bellevue, we'll pause once again for a glimpse of Vernon Court. This mansion holds a different type of treasure inside: the National Museum of American Illustrations. Norman Rockwell fans simply can't skip this hidden gem.
17
Hammersmith Farm
Our journey brings us to Hammersmith Farm, the childhood home of Jackie Kennedy. Jackie and JFK would later return to summer here, enjoying the same scenery, views, and breeze that you feel today!
18
Fort Adams State Park
We'll continue both our history lesson and journey into Fort Adams, as we explore this historic site and it's significance to Newport's independence.
