    NewportUnited States1894

    Belcourt of Newport, historically known as Belcourt Castle, is a magnificent 50,000-square-foot Gilded Age estate situated on Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island. Designed in 1891 by famed architect Richard Morris Hunt for wealthy socialite and congressman Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, the 60-room Châteauesque mansion was built to showcase Belmont's extensive collection of European antiquities, armor, and prized coach horses. With a history rich in eccentric luxury, centuries-old imported artifacts, and decades of private ownership by the Tinney family, Belcourt has earned a national reputation as Newport's most intensely haunted mansion.

    White Horse Tavern

    NewportUnited States1673

    Established in 1673 in Newport, Rhode Island, the White Horse Tavern holds the proud historic distinction of being recognized as the oldest continuously operating tavern building in the United States and one of the oldest active dining establishments in the world. Originally constructed as a private colonial residence before being expanded into a public house, this Colonial landmark served as a vital meeting hall for the Rhode Island General Assembly, a criminal court, and quarters for British and Loyalist soldiers during the American Revolutionary War. Alongside its rich three-century culinary and political legacy, the tavern is internationally renowned for its lingering Colonial spirits, unexplained disembodied footsteps, and eerie encounters with spectral boarders who never checked out.
