Blithewold preserves a beautiful 33-acre summer estate overlooking the stunning Narragansett Bay, which is nationally renowned as one of the United States' most intact examples of the County Place Era of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The estate's 45-room mansion is preserved with family heirlooms from its original owners, known as one of the best examples of completely preserved 19th-century New England estates that retain their original historic authenticity. Outside, gorgeous gardens range in character from poetic and whimsical to formal and elegant, showcasing collections of rare and unusual trees and plants. Exhibits within the mansion are updated twice a year and can be viewed as part of guided tours.
