Newport, Rhode Island was the place to summer for members of the 400, the rich, and social climbers.
This included the Astors, Whitneys, Vanderbilts, and Wetmores among many others.
They built some of the grandest mansions in the country, including the Breakers, Rosecliff, the Elms, and Marble House.
The newport social season was crammed with balls, dinners, yachting parties, beach days, tennis matches, Mr. McAllister’s picnics, and carriage parades.

Thank you for watching! I previously made a video on the mentioned Petit Trianon at Versailles if you would like to learn more about it. Like, comment and subscribe for more videos.

Your elocution and diction is almost flawless and very easy on the ears. Thank you so much for not using music to distract from the lovely musicality of your voice. I enjoy your videos very much, and your charming voice even more! 😊

Aaaah The Breakers. Your opening picture I knew in a heartbeat. I'm not gilded but lived in Newport for a year then 6 years in a Victorian in Portsmouth. Aquidneck Island as it is known differs from the mainland by being magical!

I live in Rhode Island and this mansion there is amazing you like your 5 or 6 of them. They are amazing ❤😊The Breakers are haunted by the ghost of the Husband and wife. I piece of advice if you go on the Cliff Walk be safe, it can be tricky.

Excellent and informative video. The photo at 1:08 is Narragansett, RI and not Newport. The photo at 3:22 is the ballroom of Whitehall (Flagler) in Palm Beach.
