Doris Duke was one of the most philanthropic individuals of her time: she gave away more than $400 million dollars (in today’s dollars), much of it anonymously. She was a woman who cared deeply about bettering the world through environmental stewardship, medical research, the restoration of historic sites, and the preservation of intangible cultural heritage. Join us on a tour of Rough Point that explores Doris Duke’s philanthropic interests and the lasting impact of this philanthropy on Newport and beyond.
