Mansion Tour

Newport is known for being the location of some of the most famous summer "cottages" of the wealthiest and most prosperous families in 19th century America. You can tour one or more of these homes. Perhaps the most well-known is the Breakers (built by the Vanderbilts), but there are a dozen such mansions open to the public including the Marble House, the Elms, Rosecliff Manor and more. Take a tour and see for yourself how the titans of industry once lived.

Harbor Cruise
