Newport

Revolutionary Heritage Byway, Paradise Ave and Other Roads and Route 114 and High Street are 3 of 9 signed byways within 30 miles of Newport, Rhode Island.

One of the largest cities in the future United States during colonial times, Newport's decline in the early 19th century is good news for today's visitors, who can experience one of the nation's largest collections of intact colonial architecture; had Newport followed the same path as its former peer cities, its historic buildings might have been razed decades or even centuries ago.
