Newport Cottages – Tea & Rebellion

Newport, RI Mansion #5

Our final house museum tour while we were in Newport was Chateau-sur-Mer. We’ll take a look at this interesting house, and I will also give you some insight into some other things my sister and I got into in Rhode Island!

Newport, RI Mansion #4

The fourth house museum stop for our Newport, RI trip was The Elms. Get ready for some beautiful gardens and general splendor!

Newport, RI Mansion #2

Continuing our virtual vacation of Newport, RI, this week we’re stopping at the home of Alva Vanderbilt herself, Marble House. So sit back on your (expensive) lawn chair, grab something cool to drink, and enjoy the history.

Newport, RI Mansions Tour

Since many of us couldn’t take a summer vacation this year, I thought it would be fun to take you on a tour of Newport Rhode Island by recounting my trip there in August of 2017. My sister and I, both history fans, bought tickets from The Preservation Society of Newport County, which allowed us to tour five different Newport “cottages.” There will be five posts, mostly dedicated to individual mansions, but I’ll give you details of some other stuff we got into, as well. Here we go! Buckle up; the ride starts in Atlanta, Georgia.
