Colonial Tree Walk
The Colonial Tree Walk begins in the heart of Newport’s historic town common, Washington Square. The 1.2-mile walk continues up to Bellevue Avenue (passing by the historic Redwood Library and Newport Art Museum), through Touro Park and back to Queen Anne Square.
Victorian Tree Walk
The Victorian Tree Walk takes you through Newport’s historic Kay Catherine neighborhood. The walk takes its name from the beautiful Second Empire, Queen Anne, Stick and Shingle Style Victorian houses you’ll find scattered throughout your walk.
Gilded Age – Bellevue North
As the center of city life during Newport’s reign as the Gilded Age’s ‘Queen of Resorts,’ Bellevue Avenue has been rightly called Rhode Island’s most famous street. These two tree walks feature specimen trees gracing the landscapes of Newport’s incredible Gilded Age mansions.
Gilded Age – Bellevue South
As the center of city life during Newport’s reign as the Gilded Age’s ‘Queen of Resorts,’ Bellevue Avenue has been rightly called Rhode Island’s most famous street. These two tree walks feature specimen trees gracing the landscapes of Newport’s incredible Gilded Age mansions.
Morton Park
Levi P. Morton, 22nd Vice President of the United States, gave Morton Park to the city in 1886. The park’s high bluff was a popular location to view the polo grounds to the west. In 1893, famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted was hired to redesign the park.
