Residents of Newport County and employees of the hospitality industry, regardless of their place of residence, are invited to enjoy free admission or discounts at 15 participating attractions across Newport and Bristol Counties on June 8, 9, and 10.
The Preservation Society of Newport County is a key participant, offering free admission to some of its most famous properties. Each day, visitors can explore The Breakers, Marble House, The Elms, Rosecliff, and the Green Animals Topiary Garden without charge. Additionally, Chateau-sur-Mer and Kingscote will be open for free visits on June 9 and 10. Proof of residency or hospitality employment is required to access these offers.
Please note that the complimentary admission does not extend to the limited, guide-led tours of Hunter House, Chepstow, Beneath The Breakers, or The Elms Servant Life, which necessitate a timed ticket.
“Several times each year, the Preservation Society invites local residents to be our guests at the mansions for free, and we are happy to extend the courtesy to people who work in the hospitality industry, which is so important to the local economy,” stated Trudy Coxe, CEO and Executive Director of the Preservation Society. “We hope they will take advantage of this opportunity.”
The six Newport Mansions listed offer self-guided audio tours. Visitors are encouraged to download the free Newport Mansions app to their mobile devices and bring earphones or earbuds for the best experience.
