He was commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Force sent by France in order to help the American Continental Army fight against British forces. Washington and Rochambeau marched their combined forces to the siege of Yorktown and the Battle of the Chesapeake. They combined with the Marquis de Lafayette's troops and forced heavily outnumbered and trapped Lord Cornwallis to surrender on 19 October. The Congress of the Confederation presented Rochambeau with two cannons taken from the British in recognition of his service. He returned them to Vendôme, and they were requisitioned in 1792. The monument is located on the waterfront in King Park, along the southern edge of Newport Harbor, near Brenton Cove and Fort Adams state park and was erected in 1934. This is the 3rd replica of the Rochambeau Statue in Lafayette Park, Washington DC, which was created by renowned French sculptor Fernand Harmar. It was donated by A. Kingsley Macomber.

In was built way back in 1831 and the tower is the oldest surviving wooden lighthouse still standing. It was discontinued in 1882 because it's location on land made it difficult to see but it is still a wonderful piece of history. The structure is a great example of an integrated lighthouse. One that the tower containing the actually light is blended right into the keepers house. Definitely made it convenient for the keeper in cold or nasty weather. The light originally had a 5th order Fresnel Lens that was removed many decades ago and stand 48 feet high. It has been privately owned for a long, long time and has changed a bit from owner to owner. However it has been restored to beautiful condition and functions as a beautiful home as well as a irreplaceable part of lighthouse history. The lighthouse, house and property recently came up for sale again. The home has 12 rooms. and totals roughly 4,500 square feet. The property is 1.66 acres of water front land right at the entrance of Wickford Harbor. A lovely and stunning house and piece of land. If you happen to have the asking price of 6,450,000 dollars hanging around this is a chance to live in a real lighthouse and own a great piece of history.

The Berwinds were a powerful family of the Gilded Age, and the Elms showcased their affluence. Mr. Berwind built his fortune in the coal industry. The Elms was modeled after an 18th century chateau outside of Paris. Built for $1.4 million dollars in 1901 (equivalent to $54 million in 2026) it served as the summer home of Mr. & Mrs. Berwind. The Elms included one of the earliest electrical system in a private residence along with luxurious bathrooms and refrigeration. We really enjoyed exploring this mansion. Every room had intricate details from floor to ceiling, and personally I found it one of the cozier, warmer mansions that we've explored. Touring the Elms offered a vibrant look into the lifestyles of the wealthy in Newport, Rhode Island. Outside, the grounds have massive beech trees which were so fun to explore and take pictures near. There is a carriage house located on the property with a cafe which features elevated New England classics and farm to table flare. We didn't have a chance to dine there, but on a beautiful day would be a great spot to have a beverage on their patio! lentz_explore

The Carriage House restaurant leaves a lot to be desired, but I think it is only fair to review that separately, which I have done.
