Learned more about the untold stories of the black and indigenous people who played integral roles in the history of Newport and Rhode Island. Our tour guide, Margaret, shared many facts about the impact the slave trade had on the development of the wealth in this area as well as the establishment of first black churches in the state. Amazing tour!

My brother and I originally planned our first trip to Rhode Island to see the mansions. While planning the trip, we discovered a walking tour that turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Margaret, our tour guide, was incredible, knowledgeable, and empathetic towards the people affected by slavery in Rhode Island. The most impactful part, besides the acknowledgement that slavery was alive and well in the northern part of the United States, was hearing the real-life stories of those who endured and persevered during this dark chapter in American history. Thank you, Margaret, for making our trip to Newport even more memorable than the mansions!

This tour was fantastic! I highly recommend this tour for all to understand Newports complete history. Tour guide was knowledgeable and very nice. Don't miss this even if you visit for only a weekend.
