Colonial Newport by Foot

Learn how this neighborhood became a model for historic preservation; today, it is home to more than 80 restored period structures. Pass by the Old Brick Market building and Old Colony House, the former statehouse. You will also see the White Horse Tavern and Touro Synagogue; the former is believed to be the oldest operating restaurant in the US, while the latter is the country’s oldest surviving temple.
