The Preservation Society of Newport County has a year-round operating schedule. However, some properties are open only seasonally. The schedule below is a rolling calendar, which is updated regularly. All properties are closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
The Preservation Society only presents interpreted tour experiences either by audio tour or live guide except Green Animals Topiary Garden which has the only self-guided experience at The Newport Mansions. Immediate entry is available at audio tour properties. You will be welcomed inside guided tour properties by your guide shortly before the live tour begins.
