The mansions of the Vanderbilts, and other fabulous families that “summered” in Newport in the early 1900s, are a must-see. Our favorites include The Breakers, The Elms, Marble House & Rosecliff. Tickets are available at each location.

This ten mile drive shows the history of opulent summer homes from the 1800's along with public parks and miles of beautiful shoreline. One of the most popular "drives" in the country.
