| Now, on this CClnc. Auto Tape Tour of Historic Newport you live through two of the most glorious periods of American History. You become part of Newport's Gilded Age - the brilliant years from 1880 to 1920 when America’s super-rich spent millions to build fabulous "summer cottages" of stunning size and splendor. Who built these mansions and why, and what went on inside them? You hear it all in this Newport Tape Tour. You see the mansions and you feel all the excitement of those extraordinary years. And you go back beyond that to share in another stirring era in Newport history: the Golden Age when bold Newport merchants and brave Newport sea Captains made this "City by the Sea" into one of the biggest –if not the biggest - most bustling, most exciting seaport in colonial America. You hear about the U.S. Navy, too, and itds on-again, off-again romance with Newport and its almost perfect harbor. You see the U.S. Naval War College where "War Games" were invented, and where the officers are trained who lead our fleets in time of war. All this is yours on this CClnc. Auto Tape Tour of Newport. And you enjoy it all in your own car, traveling at your own pace, with your friends or family. |
