125. The Heiress Tour | Welcome to Newport! From Utopian Colonial Experiment to Pre-Gilded Age Hotel Hotspot


Listen Later

We are dipping into a different avenue on our Heiress Tour in the next few episodes. Welcome to Newport! It’s been waiting for you.

I am thrilled to begin this next Heiress arc introducing the history of this Rhode Island playground of the Gilded Age, long before the Gilded Age begins. Newport begins as a 17th century colonial experiment embracing religious freedom, and by the middle of the 1800’s is a flourishing seaside vacation village for the wealthy, coming in droves to exclusive luxury hotels for a summer escape.

This is Newport from the 1500s to the 1870s – let’s set the scene for the most exclusive and expensive of Heiress playgrounds in the Gilded Age.
