Jane’s Walk: Keeping History Above Water/Community Resiliency & Action
May 3 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 PM
On May 3rd and 4th, take a walk with your neighbors and explore preservation in your neighborhood.
While Newport has long weathered storms, the prolonged, damaging effects of rising tides on 18th and 19th-century foundations, framing, and utilities are spurring historic property owners to find solutions. As a community-wide challenge, this walk will focus on the approaches to protect vulnerable historic properties from rising tides and highlight the opportunities and challenges facing Newport to unify resiliency and preservation initiatives citywide.
