1

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.

2

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.

3

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!

4

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.

5

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!

6

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.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

10

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.

11

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.

12

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.

13

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.

14

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.

15

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!

Информационный центр для посетителей Ньюпорта

Наше путешествие начинается в центре Ньюпорта, рядом с информационным центром Ньюпорта. Отправляясь в самое сердце Ньюпорта, мы окунемся в прошлое, чтобы узнать о временах расцвета Ньюпорта: позолоченном веке. Эта эпоха американской элиты нуворишей, такой как Вандербильты и Асторы, была отмечена великолепными особняками. Мы будем исследовать архитектуру и архитекторов, стоящих за этими проектами, как драйв.

53

Международный зал теннисной славы

На перекрестке с Международным залом теннисной славы мы свернем на знаменитую авеню Белвью — самую дорогую авеню в Америке. Мы собираемся увидеть самые великолепные дома, когда-либо построенные в этой стране... в шутку известные как "летние коттеджи". Здесь вы можете сделать паузу, чтобы заглянуть в Зал славы, в котором представлены великие теннисисты.

54

Вязы

Наконец, мы увидим Вязы. Этот шедевр был разработан для угольного барона Эдварда Джулиуса Бервинда и вдохновлен французским замком Аньер. Здесь мы хотим максимально замедлиться, чтобы услышать о Бервиндах — и, возможно, заехать внутрь на экскурсию!

55

Чепстоу

По пути мы проедем Чепстоу, великолепный дом-музей в итальянском стиле, построенный в 1860 году. Его первоначальный обитатель обычно не упоминается в историях Ньюпорта... но имеет давние связи как с первыми американскими поселенцами, так и с модернистами. богатство позолоченного века. Мы можем остановиться здесь и на экскурсию.

56

Охра Корт

Охристый двор сразу приковывает к себе взгляд! Этот замковый особняк стоил 4,5 миллиона долларов... в 1892 году. И это, безусловно, заметно! В настоящее время центральная часть Университета Сальве Регина, этот особняк закрыт для экскурсий... но это не помешает нам узнать все об его богатой и увлекательной истории!

57

Разрушители

Наконец, мы добрались до главного момента Ньюпорта: The Breakers. Этот особняк Вандербильтов — самый большой и лучший из всех летних коттеджей Ньюпорта — и вы можете это сказать. Мы посмотрим мимо высоких кованых ворот, вдоль извилистой гравийной дороги и на величественный и чудесный фасад особняка. Здесь мы погрузимся в предысторию Вандербильта, архитектурные чудеса особняка и многое другое. Это еще одна прекрасная возможность отправиться на экскурсию.

58

Шато-сюр-Мер

Направляясь обратно к авеню Бельвю, мы остановимся, чтобы осмотреть утонченную красоту Шато-сюр-Мер. Это не только первый особняк позолоченного века в Ньюпорте, но и один из самых красивых зеленых раскидистых садов. И дом, и сады открыты для дополнительной экскурсии.

59

Национальный музей американской иллюстрации

Прямо на углу Бельвю мы еще раз остановимся, чтобы взглянуть на Вернон Корт. Внутри этого особняка находится сокровище другого типа: Национальный музей американских иллюстраций. Поклонники Нормана Роквелла просто не могут пропустить эту скрытую жемчужину.

60

Роузклифф

Роузклифф следующий на нашем пути. Это, пожалуй, самый красивый из особняков Ньюпорта, на верхнем этаже которого находится вращающаяся выставочная галерея. Если вы остановитесь здесь на экскурсию, вы также сможете насладиться феноменальным видом на океан.

61

Мраморный дом

Теперь наше путешествие проходит мимо Мраморного дома, одного из самых роскошных и великолепных особняков Ньюпорта. Это чудо позолоченного века является еще одним домом Вандербильтов и на самом деле имеет одну из самых интересных историй среди всех особняков здесь. Мы узнаем все о Мраморном доме и его владельцах по мере продвижения вперед — или вы можете остановиться здесь для тура.

62

Белкорт из Ньюпорта

Затем мы проедем три удивительных дома подряд: дом Болье, Мирамар и замок Белкур. Все три этих красивых особняка были построены в 1800-х годах и принадлежали элите Золотого века. Как и другие особняки Ньюпорта, они предназначались только для использования в качестве летних домов и оставались пустыми до конца года.

63

Музей Раф-Пойнт

Сейчас мы находимся в конце авеню Бельвю и сквозь деревья можем мельком увидеть дом в стиле английского поместья: это Раф-Пойнт. Сейчас музей открыт для экскурсий, мы узнаем все о его эксцентричном (и, возможно, опасном) владельце.

64

Крыжовник Бич

Пока мы блуждаем по этой живописной тропе, мы будем наслаждаться свежим океанским воздухом и относительным спокойствием. По дороге мы погрузимся в историю мореплавания, торговли и яхтинга в Ньюпорте, многие из которых уходят своими корнями в Позолоченный век. По мере того, как мы продолжаем, мы можем сделать паузу на некоторых общественных пляжах, чтобы размять ноги.

65

Государственный парк Брентон-Пойнт

Наше путешествие продолжается мимо государственного парка Брентон-Пойнт, который может похвастаться великолепным видом на океан и раскидистыми зелеными лужайками. Мы постараемся найти маяк, пока будем двигаться вперед.

66

Ферма Хаммерсмит

Наше путешествие приводит нас на ферму Хаммерсмит, дом детства Джеки Кеннеди. Позже Джеки и Кеннеди вернутся сюда летом, наслаждаясь теми же пейзажами, видами и бризом, что и сегодня!

67

Государственный парк Форт-Адамс

Мы продолжим наш урок истории и путешествие в Форт Адамс, исследуя это историческое место и его значение для независимости Ньюпорта.

68

Пляж Истона

Отправьтесь в эту живописную прогулку у входа в Cliff Walk на пляже Истон. Мы узнаем немного об Истон-Бич, когда отправимся в это путешествие, а затем сразу же бросим короткий взгляд на Чанлер. По мере того, как мы продолжим, мы погрузимся в историю Ньюпорта, влияние позолоченного века и создание Cliff Walk. Мы также узнаем немного о семьях «старых денег», таких как Вандербильты и Асторы, чьи величественные летние коттеджи расположены вдоль скалы.

97

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.

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.

105

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!

106

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.

107

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!

108

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.

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.

110

National Museum of American Illustration
