Newport Mansions Gave Over 1 Million Tours in 2016
"We've accomplished this through some strategic decision-making: expanding our shoulder season operating schedule to make more houses available year round; offering new tours like our soon-to-be unveiled Beneath The Breakers Tour; creating new exhibition space at Rosecliff; and making strategic investments in digital technology and innovative marketing,” said Trudy Coxe, CEO & Executive Director of the Preservation Society.
From January 1 through December 31 of 2016, the Preservation Society of Newport gave 1,019,983 tours of its 10 historic properties, from the tiny Colonial Hunter House to the Breakers.
