Saint Michaels, MD

A Glimpse into History:A Charming Coastal Escape Steeped in History and Culinary Delights.

St. Michaels, Maryland: A Charming Coastal Escape

Newport, Rhode Island, was once the epicenter of the Gilded Age—and still is, in a way, thanks to the famous Newport mansions. The quaint New England city grew from a booming port town to a seaside destination for Manhattan’s wealthiest families—including the Vanderbilts, the Astors, and the Schermerhorns. In the late 19th century, these elite members of high society looked for a respite from the city and started building what they described as summer cottages but were really palaces made of 500,000 cubic feet of white marble and sprawling mansions inspired by Versailles. “I think that, if you can’t afford to go to Europe, then come to Newport,” Trudy Coxe, the CEO and executive director of the Preservation Society of Newport County, tells AD. And thanks to the preservation society, nine of these ornate historic houses have been restored to their glory days and are open to the public. Read on for a timeline of the Newport mansions, and what it takes to preserve such an integral epicenter of American history.
