I visited Newport on a cruise. It was a wet autumn day. Whilst i left my wife to visit the stores I headed to the museum and fund they offer walking tours. I am fascinated with history so for me this was a must. The guide was pleasant but not charming. He was generally knowledgeable. The walk was at a gentle pace and lasted maybe an hour. It was a good introduction to the city centre. But we did not enter any of the public buildings. After the tour ended I took myself off to investigate further.

Lots of historical books and souvenirs from newport. We actually only visited the shop, the museum is upstairs and it costs $5. You can also book some walking tours there. We did the rum tour. Learned about how alcohol was treated during the last 300 years and had a rum cocktail at the end at the stoneacre Inn. It was interesting and the guide was very professional. We had a good time even though it rained on the day of the tour.

We visited this museum and gift shop with my husband while on a Newport getaway 3/1/23–3/3/23. What a wonderful place! So many fascinating exhibits and well worth the suggested donation. We had a great time there learning about the history of Newport. A must-see spot for anyone visiting the area. Thank you so much!

We visited the museum and shop, and had so much fun. The museum isn’t big, but it is just a good size to spend there 45 minutes and learn more about Newport History. We enjoyed the video guides at the carriage.
