Christmas in Newport
Visiting the Newport Mansions at Christmastime seems like a great idea!
The Preservation Society of Newport County offers tours of some of the stately homes and if you visit their site you can view the schedule of tours, events, and special packages.
The glitter of gold and the sparkle of silver will dazzle you as you tour The Breakers, The Elms and Marble House decked out in Yuletide finery, with thousands of poinsettia plants, spectacular evergreens, trees, wreaths and fresh flowers. Dining tables set with period silver and china and mannequins dressed in authentic costumes complete the elegant setting.
All three houses are decorated and open daily for tours from November 18 through January 1.
Purchase tickets online, or in person at any of the three properties.

Wow! That took my breath away! I want to be there!
Maybe they will post photos online for those of us who don’t travel over the Holidays? Here’s hoping…
Happy Holidays!
