Where is the most beautiful house in Rhode Island?

While New England boasts many lovely homes, arguably the most beautiful one is the Marble House, a beloved Newport Mansion. Designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt, William Vanderbilt had the architectural landmark built between 1888 and 1892 as a birthday present for his wife, Alva Vanderbilt, on her 39th birthday. The reported price tag of this magnificent mansion was $11 million of which $7 million went toward the cost of 500,000 cubic feet of marble. Tour and other information about this fascinating National Historic Landmark, located at 596 Bellevue Ave. in Newport, Rhode Island, is available on The Preservation Society of Newport County's website.

Where is the creepiest hike in Rhode Island?

The Hunts Mills trail, a .7-mile loop trail near Rumford, Rhode Island, is said to be one of the creepiest hikes in the state. Beginning at John Hunt House Museum, located at 65 Hunts Mills Road in East Providence, Rhode Island, this hike evokes both frightening and historical references. A variety of remnants are scattered along the way, such as an old pumping station and bits of an old amusement park that was there and closed because of a fire at the dance hall in 1925. The lively history makes it feel as though you are being watched while walking this creepy hike. For more history and information, visit the East Province Historical Society website.

What is the best little-known attraction in Rumford, Rhode Island?
