Aldrich, a Rhode Island native born to poverty but destined for greatness. The estate once held a Teahouse, since destroyed by fire.

Before being deeded to the State of Rhode Island in 1965, Fort Adams had served the U.S. Navy for ten years and the U.S. Army for more than a century. The Fort rests at an elbow to the entrance of Newport Harbor. Ships need to enter the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, passing the Coast Guard station and lighthouse at Castle Hill and the Hammersmith Farm of the Kennedy family, before coming broadside to Fort Adams on the east and Fort Wetherill on Jamestown to the west. This ‘choke point,’ commanded before Fort Adams by a colonial battery on one side of the passage and Fort Dumpling on the other, was a good location to foil sea invaders to Newport Harbor, which lies beyond these sentinels. Further up the passage was another fort on Goat Island. In colonial times this emplacement which formed a kind of triangle with the former was known successively as Fort Anne, Fort George, and Fort Liberty. • Situated at the mouth of the Newport Harbor, Fort Adams State Park offers an exceptional panoramic view of both Newport Harbor and the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. • Today the park offers a wide range of activities, including tours of the historic fort, saltwater bathing, fishing, boating, soccer, rugby, and picnicking.

• Bustling harbor &amp; square lined with quaint boutiques, cafes, galleries, &amp; sightseeing tour companies. Because Providence and Newport were founded by dissidents, they became places of refuge for others wishing to worship as they pleased. Quakers from England, Jews from Portugal and Spain, and Baptists all came to Newport in the mid-1600s to find religious freedom. They brought talent and a gift for hard work. The settlement prospered and it became the colony’s most important town and one of the New World’s busiest ports. • Newport has long been known as a major yachting center and host to the Newport to Bermuda Race, Transatlantic Races, and the America’s Cup Competition. • Open 24 hours. • Distance: 9 minutes.

Dear Family and Friends, We are so incredibly grateful that you’ve made the journey to celebrate our wedding with us—it means the world to us to have you here! As the festivities wind down, we wanted to share a breakfast option for the morning after the wedding. Starting June 9th, Johnny’s Restaurant &amp; Patio, located right at the hotel, will be offering a buffet-style breakfast that we highly recommend. It’s a great way to relax, recharge, and spend a bit more time together before everyone heads home. The wedding party and family will be dining there, and we’d love for you to join us if you'd like! Please note that breakfast is not covered by the wedding, so guests will be responsible for their own meals. We hope to see many of you there to cap off a beautiful weekend of love, laughter, and togetherness. With love and gratitude, Erik, Lisa &amp; Brooke Lydell
