unique 3.5-mile walk combines the stunning natural beauty of the Newport

Lighthouse Museum is the third oldest lighthouse in North America, sitting on

National Historic Landmark in 1996 after having been occupied from the late
1800s to the mid-1960s by the Berwind family. Used as a summer home, Mr.
Berwind commissioned architect Horace Trumbauer to construct it, drawing
inspiration from the mid-18th century French Chateau d'Asnieres.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 20.25pt; margin-bottom: .25in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 16.5pt;">The stately home was
completed in 1901 and featured interior designs and furnishings by Paris
designers Allard and Sons. It became the backdrop to Berwind's accumulation of
18th century oriental jades and French and Venetian paintings. Guests can see
this lovely home, artifact collections, and intricate Classic Revival gardens by
joining one of the hourly Servant Life tours or audio tours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006 after changing hands from Alva
Vanderbilt to Fredrick H. Prince in 1932, and then to the Preservation Society
in 1963. Designed by architect Richard Hunt and modeled after the Petit Trianon
at Versailles, it was a gift to Alva Vanderbilt from her husband.</span></p></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 20.25pt; margin-bottom: .25in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 16.5pt;">The home served as an
architectural and social landmark, becoming the first home to begin
transforming the Newport neighborhood of summer homes into an opulent vacation
resort area for the elite. Years later, Alva Vanderbilt had a seaside tea house
built on the property where she held women's rights rallies. Audio tours are
available.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

National Historic Landmark comprised of a 70-room Italian Renaissance-style
palazzo, stable, and carriage house. Originally a premier summer cottage
purchased by the esteemed Vanderbilt family in the late 19th century, a fire
burned its wood-framed structure to the ground. This allowed for the
construction of the grand estate, inspired by the Genoa palaces of the 16th
century, to be created.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 20.25pt; margin-bottom: .25in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 16.5pt;">Open to the public since
1948, guests can tour the impressive grounds where one-of-a-kind sculptures by
Karl Bitter and pristine architecture by Ogden Codman are eloquently featured.
Beneath the Breakers tours are offered every half hour, where guests learn of
the rich history the Vanderbilts brought to steamships and railroads.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The estate remains exactly as she left it, with stunning French furniture,
opulent European art on the walls, Flemish tapestries, and her collection of
Chinese porcelains.</span></p>

Mrs. Oelrichs hosted lavish parties, including her famed fairytale dinner with
special guest magician, Harry Houdini. The mansion was eventually gifted to the
Preservation Society by subsequent owners Mr. and Mrs. J. Edgar Monroe,
complete with furnishings and an endowment, in 1971. It's currently open to the
public for tours and private events and features annual exhibits.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 20.25pt; margin-bottom: .25in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 16.5pt;">8) Must go to Bowens Warf</span></p>

the premier natural harbors in New England - a year-round destination that has

This fortress, surrounded by Narragansett Bay, was active during World War II; it was able to mount over 400 cannons and house just under 2,500 troops.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 20.25pt; margin-bottom: 0.25in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 16.5pt;">Now inactive, guests are welcome to tour the grand facility on hour-long guided walks from the top of its massive walls to the depths of its underground tunnels. Visitors can also experience a sunset walk around the perimeter of the state park. The 2.5-mile jaunt offers exemplary views.</span></p>

It’s a
common dish in Turkish, Lebanese, Syrian, and Egyptian cuisine, among others.
And it’s now gained popularity throughout the world. We love having fresh Humus on hand at the Simeon Potter House for a healthy snack. We love to go to the farmers market to get fresh organic veggies to serve with this delicious dish.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(248, 248, 248); line-height: 16.5pt;"><b><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="color: #1f4e79; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #1F4E79; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: lumm=50000; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: accent1; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 128;">Servings: <a href="https://www.cookingclassy.com/hummus/"><span style="color: #1f4e79; font-weight: normal; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #1F4E79; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: lumm=50000; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: accent1; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 128;">6</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
