It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas at the Newport Mansions

The holiday season is quickly approaching, and The Breakers, The Elms and Marble House will soon be welcoming visitors for Christmas at the Newport Mansions! Beginning November 22, 2014 and running through January 4, 2015, guests are invited to join The Preservation Society of Newport County to create holiday memories as they enjoy music, tours, a gingerbread mansion contest, shopping and visits from Santa Claus at three of America’s most outstanding historic houses. The glitter and elegance of holidays at the Newport Mansions are not to be missed!

The mansions will be dressed in their holiday best, boasting a total of twenty-four decorated Christmas trees, reflecting the individual room décor in which they stand. Tables will be set with period silver and china, and individual white candles will illuminate each window. Thousands of poinsettias, fresh flowers, evergreens and wreaths will also fill the magnificent rooms. Returning to the Great Hall of The Breakers this year is the 15-foot-tall poinsettia tree. The “tree” is made up of approximately 150 individual poinsettia plants grown in the Preservation Society’s own greenhouses. The plants are removed and replaced several times during the six-week holiday season to ensure the display remains fresh and flawless.

A Winter Passport ticket providing daytime admission to all three houses can be purchased for $28 for adults, $9 for children 6-17. Children under the age of 6 are admitted free. Individual house tickets are also available. Tickets can be purchased online at www.NewportMansions.org, or at each property. The Breakers opens daily at 9 a.m., and The Elms and Marble House open at 10 a.m. The last tour admission at all three houses is at 4p.m. and the houses and grounds close at 5 p.m.

Running Daily from November 22nd to January 4th. (With the exceptions of Thanksgiving and Christmas)
