Newport’s Cliff Walk:
Get ready for America’s Gilded Age to come alive! Stroll along this beautiful oceanside trail and marvel at the impossibly extravagant mansions which line the coast. Hear all about the lavish lifestyles of the Vanderbilts, the Astors, and the other famous families who built these so-called “summer cottages.”
Ever wondered what it was like to be invited to one of Mrs. Astor’s ultra-exclusive balls? Wonder no longer! We’ll give you the inside scoop and place you right in the middle of America’s most decadent parties. Oh, and of course there’s plenty of drama to be found among these bickering business tycoons.
