Чого очікувати
1
Інформаційний центр для відвідувачів Ньюпорта
Наша подорож починається в центрі Ньюпорта, біля Центру відвідувачів Ньюпорта. Відправляючись у центр Ньюпорта, ми зануримося в минуле, щоб дізнатися про час розквіту Ньюпорта: Позолочений вік. Ця епоха новобагатих американських еліт, таких як Вандербільти та Астори, ознаменувалася розкішними особняками. Ми дослідимо архітектуру та архітекторів, які стоять за цими проектами, як драйв.
2
Міжнародний зал тенісної слави
На перехресті з Міжнародним залом тенісної слави ми звернемо на знамениту авеню Бельв’ю — найдорожчу авеню в Америці. Ось-ось ми побачимо найрозкішніші будинки, коли-небудь побудовані в цій країні... жартівливо відомі як «літні котеджі». Ви можете зробити паузу тут, щоб переглянути наш Зал слави, де представлені великі тенісисти.
3
В'язи
Нарешті ми побачимо Елмс. Цей шедевр був розроблений для вугільного барона Едварда Юліуса Бервінда та натхненний французьким Шато д'Аньєр. Тут ми захочемо якомога більше сповільнитися, щоб почути про Бервіндів — і, можливо, заїхати всередину на екскурсію!
4
Чепстоу
Подорожуючи, ми пройдемо повз Чепстоу, чудовий італійський будинок-музей, побудований у 1860 році. Його первісний мешканець зазвичай не згадується в історії Ньюпорта... але має довгий зв’язок як з ранніми американськими поселенцями, так і з модерністами. багатство позолоченого віку. Ми також можемо зупинитися тут для екскурсії.
5
Охристий суд
Охрний суд негайно захопить наші очі! Цей особняк у стилі Шато коштував 4,5 мільйона доларів... у 1892 році. І це точно видно! Тепер цей особняк є центром Університету Салве-Регіна, він не відкритий для екскурсій... але це не завадить нам дізнатися все про його багату та захоплюючу історію!
6
Брейкери
Нарешті ми дійшли до головного моменту Ньюпорта: The Breakers. Цей особняк Вандербільта є найбільшим і найкращим з усіх літніх котеджів Ньюпорта - і ви можете сказати. Ми подивимося повз високі ворота з кованого заліза, вздовж звивистої гравійної алеї, аж до величного та дивовижного фасаду особняка. Перебуваючи тут, ми зануримося в передісторію Вандербільта, архітектурні чудеса особняка та багато іншого. Це ще одна чудова можливість вискочити на екскурсію.
7
Шато-сюр-Мер
Повертаючись у бік авеню Бельвю, ми зупинимося, щоб побачити ніжну красу Шато-сюр-Мер. Це не тільки перший особняк позолоченої доби в Ньюпорті, але й один із найкрасивіших зелених розлогих садів. І будинок, і сади відкриті для факультативної екскурсії.
8
Національний музей американської ілюстрації
Прямо на розі Bellevue ми знову зупинимося, щоб поглянути на Vernon Court. У цьому особняку зберігається інший тип скарбу: Національний музей американських ілюстрацій. Шанувальники Нормана Роквелла просто не можуть пропустити цю приховану перлину.
9
Розкліф
Розкліф наступний на нашому шляху. Це, мабуть, найкрасивіший з особняків Ньюпорта, і на його верхньому поверсі розміщена виставкова галерея, що обертається. Якщо ви зупинитесь тут для екскурсії, ви також побачите феноменальний вид на океан.
10
Мармуровий будинок
Тепер наша подорож проходить повз Мармуровий будинок, один із найрозкішніших і найвеличніших особняків Ньюпорта. Це диво Позолоченого віку є ще одним домом Вандербільта, і насправді має одну з найцікавіших історій серед усіх особняків тут. Ми дізнаємося все про Мармуровий будинок і його власників, коли ми продовжимо – або ви можете зупинитися тут для екскурсії.
11
Белкорт з Ньюпорта
Потім ми пройдемо повз три дивовижні будинки в ряд: Beaulieu House, Miramar і Belcourt Castle. Усі три ці красиві особняки були побудовані в 1800-х роках і належали еліті Золотого віку. Як і інші особняки в Ньюпорті, їх передбачалося використовувати лише як літні будинки та залишати порожніми до кінця року.
12
Музей Rough Point
Зараз ми в кінці Бельв’ю-авеню, і ми можемо побачити крізь дерева будинок у стилі англійської садиби: це Rough Point. Зараз музей відкритий для екскурсій, ми дізнаємося все про його ексцентричного (і, можливо, небезпечного) власника.
13
Аґрусовий пляж
Звиваючись цією мальовничою стежкою, ми насолоджуватимемося свіжим океанським повітрям і відносним спокоєм. Поки ми їдемо, ми зануримося в історію мореплавання, торгівлі та яхтингу в Ньюпорті, більшість із яких сягає своїм корінням у Позолочений вік. Продовжуючи, ми можемо зробити паузу на деяких громадських пляжах, щоб розім’яти ноги.
14
Державний парк Брентон-Пойнт
Наша подорож продовжується повз державний парк Брентон-Пойнт, звідки відкриваються чудові краєвиди на океан і розлогі зелені газони. Продовжуючи вперед, ми спробуємо помітити маяк.
15
Ферма Хаммерсміт
Наша подорож приводить нас до Хаммерсміт-ферми, дому дитинства Джекі Кеннеді. Пізніше Джекі та Джон Кеннеді повернуться сюди влітку, насолоджуючись тими ж краєвидами, краєвидами та вітерцем, які ви відчуваєте сьогодні!
16
Парк штату Форт Адамс
Ми продовжимо як урок історії, так і подорож до форту Адамс, досліджуючи це історичне місце та його значення для незалежності Ньюпорта.
17
Пляж Істона
Вирушайте на цю мальовничу прогулянку біля входу на Кліфф-Вок біля пляжу Істон. Вирушаючи в цю подорож, ми дізнаємося трохи про пляж Істона, а потім коротко поглянемо на Чанлер. Продовжуючи, ми зануримося в історію Ньюпорта, вплив Позолоченого віку та створення Кліфф Уок. Ми також дізнаємось трохи про сім’ї «старих грошей», як-от Вандербільтів і Асторів, чиї величні літні котеджі розташовані вздовж Кліфф-Вок.
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!
33
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.
34
Easton's Beach
Embark on this scenic walk at the Cliff Walk entrance by Easton's Beach. We'll learn a little about Easton's Beach as we set off on this journey, followed immediately by a short look at the Chanler.

40mins from Newport, RI as this trip was to visit that area and chose this BW to stay at as it was centrally located between the two cities

Tried my first ever car audio tour through Viator for the Newport RI gilded age "cottages." I really enjoyed the narration that shared history and interesting stories not only about the properties, but other notable properties and areas as well. The ease of stopping the audio to walk around a property or tour a mansion was great. I did have some issues with connectivity in one of two places when the audio seemed to skip sections, however overall I really enjoyed it.
