Viac o knihe
The historical significance of Newport is highlighted through its founding in 1639 as a haven for religious freedom and its growth into a major seaport. The city's prosperity was challenged during the Revolutionary War, particularly by a three-year British occupation that resulted in the destruction of many homes. Despite this, Newport boasts the largest collection of eighteenth-century homes in the U.S., showcasing its rich architectural heritage. The Newport Restoration Foundation, established in 1968, plays a crucial role in preserving this legacy.
