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.
