Blithewold, a 33-acre summer estate with grand views of Narragansett Bay, is nationally significant in American history as one of the most fully developed and authentic examples of the Country Place era. The property features a 45-room mansion filled with family heirlooms framed by a series of lovely gardens that range in character from mysterious to exotic and from poetic to practical.
Blithewold Self-Guided Tour:
Is your group (parties of 8 or more) more likely to "take it all in" on their own without the structure of a guided tour? We've got that! Interpretive panels are strategically placed throughout the Estate which allows for a less formal, more meandering way to explore the mansion, gardens and grounds.
Once you've spent an hour or so enjoying the property your group may like some light refreshments or lunch. Plenty of lovely spots to sit and enjoy; our covered porches overlooking The Bosquet or the Narragansett Bay or our picnic area adjacent to the Rose Garden. The Kitchen at Blithewold is prepared work with you to prepare something special for your group.
