The Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum in Bristol is a summer estate that sits on 33 acres of land with majestic views of Narragansett Bay.

This nationally significant estate is supremely important to American history as it features one of the only authentic, matured examples of the Country Place Era.

Blithewold consists of 45 preserved rooms with family heirlooms, a greenhouse, and an array of beautiful gardens surrounding the property.

Each garden has a specific personality, be it mysterious, poetic, practical, or exotic.

Inside the estate, guests will note several collections and exhibits that display late 19th and early 20th-century New England culture.
