It’s the dog days of summer! Join us and our community partner The Potter League for Animals for a dog’s day out with the Great Elephant Migration at “Ruff” Point. Bring along your dog to visit the elephants at Rough Point before the herd continues their migration. We will have a photo booth for your puppy to pose with their favorite pachyderm.
Join us to celebrate excellence and innovation in historic preservation!
The annual Doris Duke Preservation Awards, a joint program of the Newport Restoration Foundation and the City of Newport, encourages excellence in historic preservation by recognizing exemplary preservation, restoration, and rehabilitation projects as well as education and advocacy initiatives that have taken place throughout Newport County.
Join us for our first annual A Rough Point Halloween! Explore Rough Point at its spookiest, go on a Halloween-themed treasure hunt, and discover the strange, eerie, and macabre objects in the house. We promise lots of treats (and no tricks). This community event is open to all, and FREE for Newport County residents.
Who decides how to name a house? And can one name tell a whole house's history? Join us for a panel-led discussion of the naming conventions on historic house properties. As we are uncovering the stories of the lives and lived experiences of past residents, we are also rethinking the process of naming houses—especially when the name on the house does not accurately reflect these stories. We will use examples from NRF’s Preservation Properties to frame the discussion and invite you to join the conversation.
