The French Are Returning to Newport!

Transport yourself back to Newport in 1780 to catch a glimpse of a day in the revolutionary lives of the 12,000 French troops stationed in the City by the Sea during America's fight for independence! Experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of the era with fife and drum corps Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums, a tea tasting, silhouette art by Silhouettes By Hand, and more. Learn from living historians and exhibits about historical figures. You can also be among the first to view a special new exhibit: "Fete Lafayette: A French Hero's Tour of the American Republic" produced by the American Revolution Institute of the Society of Cincinnati, telling the story of the Marquis de Lafayette's time in America.
Join us for French in Newport on Washington Square from 11 a.m-4 p.m Saturday July 13 and Sunday July 14! Family friendly and open to the public. À bientôt!

It was an absolute pleasure attending this marvelous event last year! All of the historic interpreters were remarkable, and each individual was a charming wellspring of information. Delighted to see the new video, and looking forward to attending in beautiful Newport. Thank you for all that you do bringing history to life, cheers!

This is a cool commercial! I’d really love to go based solely on this commercial, unfortunately I live over 1,000 miles away 😅
