The staff of the Newport Restoration Foundation is pleased to welcome visitors to our annual holiday experience, A Rough Point Holiday.
This year’s experience will be a little different from years past, as we create visitor experiences that share the stories of Doris Duke’s holiday traditions and the off-season routines of Rough Point, while insisting on social distancing and other health and safety guidelines. Here is what to expect when you come to A Rough Point Holiday in 2020.
As you will see below, all entries to our museum will be timed, allowing a specific number of people onsite at any time, and all ticket purchases will be contactless. Please check our website for updates or call us at 401-847-8344 if you need assistance.
