New England's great seafaring days come to life at the Mystic Seaport Museum. Once upon a time, merchant and whaling ships sailed out here to the world's oceans, bringing goods from around the world and whale oil back to ports along the New England coast. The Charles W. Morgan was the last wooden whaler. This one has been in museum possession since 1941 and can be visited.
Stroll the museum grounds and see what a seafaring town on the Atlantic coast of the United States looked like in the 19th century. Tour the sailing ships that lie at anchor. In more than 60 original buildings, watch craftsmen do the work that was typical in the seafaring towns of that era.

The period between 1870 and 1910 was called the Gilded Age in the USA. It was a time of great change. Industrialization was advancing. New means of transportation conquered the cities and the countryside. During that time, entrepreneurs like Vanderbilt, Morgan, Ford, Carnegie and Rockefeller accumulated massive fortunes. They were not afraid to show off that wealth. The mansions in Newport bear witness to their enormous wealth.
Check out one of the Newport Mansions on an audio tour. This is possible daily at The Breakers, Rosecliff and Kingscote. You should allow about 1.5 hours to tour a house. Then you will have plenty of time to look at the house and the park.
The Breakers and Kingscote open from 10.00 - 17.00. Rosecliff opens from 10.00 - 15.00.
Tickets are best purchased online. This will help you avoid unnecessary waiting.
Before your visit, download the Newport Mansions App to your cell phone. Then you can start the audio tour of your chosen mansion without waiting.
Free parking is available at nearly all of the Preservation Society's Mansions. At the Hunter House, you can either find free parking on the street, or pay to park your car at the Newport Visitors Center.
Alternatively, you can also take a walk on the Cliff Walk. However, you don't see much of the mansions from there. Instead, you have a nice view of the coast.
