Rhode Island is filled with beautiful attractions across the state. While some are filled with natural wonder, such as Beavertail State Park, others are filled with history, such as the Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House in Newport. Others still manage to bring beauty and history together and no other place accomplishes this as well as the Breakers Mansion.
