Afisha Life | Najlepsza samodzielna wycieczka po Newport

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

Chepstowa

Podczas naszej podróży miniemy Chepstow, wspaniały dom-muzeum w stylu włoskim, zbudowany w 1860 roku. Jego pierwotny mieszkaniec zwykle nie jest omawiany w historiach Newport… ale ma długie powiązania zarówno z wczesnymi osadnikami amerykańskimi, jak i nowicjuszami bogactwo epoki pozłacanej. Tu też możemy się zatrzymać na wycieczkę.

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

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 wysokie bramy z kutego żelaza, wzdłuż krętego żwirowego podjazdu, aż do majestatycznej i wspaniałej fasady rezydencji. Podczas pobytu tutaj zagłębimy się w historię Vanderbilta, cuda architektury rezydencji i wiele więcej. To kolejna świetna okazja, aby wyskoczyć na wycieczkę.

7

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.

8

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.

9

Rosecliff

Rosecliff jest następny na naszej drodze. Jest to prawdopodobnie najpiękniejsza z rezydencji Newport Mansions i zawiera obrotową galerię wystawową na najwyższym piętrze. Jeśli zatrzymasz się tutaj na wycieczkę, będziesz mógł również podziwiać fenomenalne widoki na ocean.

10

Marmurowy dom

Nasza podróż prowadzi teraz przez Marble House, jedną z najbogatszych i najwspanialszych rezydencji w Newport. Ten cud epoki pozłacanej jest kolejnym domem Vanderbiltów i ma jedną z najciekawszych historii ze wszystkich tutejszych rezydencji. Dowiemy się wszystkiego o Marble House i jego właścicielach w miarę kontynuowania - lub możesz zatrzymać się tutaj na wycieczkę.

11

Belcourt w Newport

Następnie miniemy trzy niesamowite domy z rzędu: Dom Beaulieu, Miramar i Zamek Belcourt. Wszystkie trzy z tych pięknych rezydencji zostały zbudowane w XIX wieku i należały do elit epoki pozłacanej. Podobnie jak inne rezydencje w Newport, miały służyć wyłącznie jako domy letnie i pozostawały puste przez resztę roku.

12

Muzeum Rough Point

Jesteśmy teraz na końcu Bellevue Avenue i między drzewami możemy dostrzec dom w stylu angielskiej rezydencji: to Rough Point. Teraz muzeum otwarte dla zwiedzających, dowiemy się wszystkiego o jego ekscentrycznym (i prawdopodobnie niebezpiecznym) właścicielu.

13

Agrestowa plaża

Wędrując tą malowniczą ścieżką, będziemy cieszyć się świeżym morskim powietrzem i względnym spokojem. Podczas jazdy zagłębimy się w historię żeglugi morskiej, handlu i żeglarstwa w Newport - z których wiele ma swoje korzenie w epoce pozłacanej. Idąc dalej, możemy zatrzymać się na niektórych publicznych plażach, aby rozprostować nogi.

14

Park stanowy Brenton Point

Nasza podróż kontynuuje obok parku stanowego Brenton Point, który oferuje wspaniałe widoki na ocean i rozległe zielone trawniki. Spróbujemy dostrzec latarnię morską, idąc dalej.

15

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!

16

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.

17

Plaża Eastona

Wybierz się na ten malowniczy spacer przy wejściu Cliff Walk przy Easton's Beach. Dowiemy się trochę o Easton's Beach, gdy wyruszymy w tę podróż, a zaraz po tym krótkie spojrzenie na Chanler. Kontynuując, zagłębimy się w historię Newport, efekt epoki pozłacanej i stworzenie Cliff Walk. Dowiemy się również trochę o rodzinach „starych pieniędzy”, takich jak Vanderbilts i Astors, których wspaniałe letnie domki stoją wzdłuż Cliff Walk.

18

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: This 16-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Newport Bundle in 6-7 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

19

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.

20

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!

21

Chepstow

As we journey along, we'll pass Chepstow, a gorgeous Italianate house museum built-in 1860. Its original inhabitant isn't usually discussed in Newport histories... but has a long connection to both early American settlers and to the nouveau-riche of the Gilded Age. We can stop here for a tour as well.

22

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!

23

The Breakers

Finally, we reach Newport's highlight: The Breakers. This Vanderbilt mansion is the biggest and the best of all of Newport's summer cottages -- and you can tell. We'll look past the towering wrought-iron gates, along the winding gravel drive, and up to the majestic and marvelous mansion's facade. We'll dive into the Vanderbilt backstory, the mansion's architectural wonders, and much more while here. This is another great opportunity to hop out for a tour.

24

Chateau-sur-Mer

As we head back towards Bellevue Avenue, we'll pause to check out the delicate beauty of Chateau-sur-Mer. Not only is the first Gilded Age mansion in Newport, but it also boasts one of the most beautiful, green, sprawling gardens. Both the house and the gardens are open for an optional tour.

25

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.

26

Rosecliff

Rosecliff is next on our path. This is arguably the most beautiful of the Newport Mansions, and it contains a rotating exhibition gallery on it's top floor. If you pause here for a tour, you'll also be treated to phenomenal ocean views.

27

Marble House

Our journey now takes us past Marble House, one of the most opulent and magnificent of Newport's Mansions. This Gilded Age marvel is another Vanderbilt home, and actually has one of the most interesting histories of all the mansions here. We'll learn all about Marble House and it's owners as we continue onwards -- or you can pause here for a tour.

28

Belcourt of Newport

We'll then pass three amazing homes in a row: Beaulieu House, Miramar, and Belcourt Castle. All three of these beautiful mansions were built in the 1800s and belonged to Gilded Age elites. Like the other Newport mansions, they were only ever intended to be used as summer homes, and left vacant for the rest of the year.

29

Rough Point Museum

We're now at the end of Bellevue Avenue and can catch a glimpse of an English Manorial style home through the trees: that's Rough Point. Now a museum open for tours, we'll learn all about it's the eccentric (and possibly dangerous) owner.

30

Gooseberry Beach

As we meander along this scenic path, we'll enjoy the fresh ocean air and relative calm. As we drive, we'll dive into the history of seafaring, trading, and yachting in Newport -- much of which finds its roots in the Gilded Age. As we continue, we can choose to pause at some of the public beaches to stretch our legs.

31

Brenton Point State Park

Our journey continues past Brenton Point State Park, which boasts magnificent ocean views and sprawling green lawns. We'll try to spot the lighthouse as we continue forward.

32

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!
