Many of the houses in Historic Hill were witnesses to the American Revolution.
Take a walk through this neighborhood and discover the stories of the people who lived here, learn about the house's historic restorations on the eve of the Bicentennial, and find out how NRF continues to care for these important sites today.
The success of Newport has always been dependent on the sea and the people who live here have a deep connection to the water. The Point neighborhood evolved from the colonial era to what it is today in response to major economic, political, cultural, and environmental shifts. This tour will reflect on how this neighborhood has adapted—and continues to adapt to— the increasing effects of climate change. We will also commemorate the stories of the many generations of Newporters who lived here.
