OVERVIEW

Visit two of the grandest mansions of the Gilded Age, The Breakers and Marble House, both of which the Vanderbilt family built. You will first tour Marble House, which was designed to emulate a chateau on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. Completed in 1892 at a cost exceeding $11 million, the mansion became the social and architectural landmark that transformed Newport from a quiet summer colony of wooden houses into a legendary resort of opulent palaces. You will next visit The Breakers, the grandest of Newport’s summer “cottages.” Cornelius Vanderbilt II commissioned the construction of the 70-room Italian Renaissance-style villa after being inspired by the 16th-century palaces of Genoa and Turin. You will enjoy self-guided audio tours in both mansions that provide insight into the lives of the Vanderbilts and this fascinating time in American history.
