Newport Mansions - The Preservation Society

Newport Mansions
The Preservation Society of Newport County

From their about page:

"The Preservation Society of Newport County, Rhode Island's largest cultural organization, preserves and protects the best of Newport County's architectural heritage. Its 11 historic properties and landscapes - seven of which are National Historic Landmarks - trace America's architectural and social development from the Colonial era through the Gilded Age. In keeping with its mission, the Society strives to offer its members and the public a comprehensive view of each property's architecture, interiors, landscapes and social history...."

They're interested in education, research and conservation - and hosting events like weddings.

There's information for visitors - but I think the website's worth visiting for the photos, even if you won't be going to Newport.

Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.
