A Vanderbilt Christmas

Newport Vanderbilt Christmas

 

Tuesday, December 2

 

Enjoy a guided bus tour of Newport, to learn about the history of the area, its famous residents and their adventures. See the many "summer homes" built during the Gilded Age and take a scenic drive down Bellevue Avenue. Tour two magnificent Vanderbilt mansions decorated for the holidays, Marblehouse and The Breakers. Marblehouse was built as an anniversary gift by William K. Vanderbilt for his wife, and it was the first of the "grand cottages" in Newport, a beautiful mansion clad in shimmering white marble. But Marblehouse was soon eclipsed by "The Breakers," summer home of Williams' older brother, Cornelius II. The Breakers has never been surpassed and is a magnificent property of the grandest scale! You'll tour both magnificent mansions decorated for the holidays. A delicious lunch at the Brick Alley Pub is included, with some free time at the Brick Marketplace for holiday shopping.
