Such an interesting story attached to this amazing mansion. Take the time to at least tour Bellevue Ave and see these decadent mansions but also learn the story of philantropist Doris Duke. It is heartwarming, indeed, to learn the extent that this amazing heiress participated in giving throughout her life.

Doris Duke's Newport home is remarkable. Our tour guide was very informative and the house, art works and grounds were very impressive. Ticket prices were $25, but the tour was certainly worth it.
