Although there has been scant need for the down jackets this December here in Rhode Island, the advantages of lower heating costs and being able to get outside for even more activities are welcome. However, there are ways to get into the seasonal spirit down in Newport. The local Historical Society (NHS) is hosting a variety of events for holiday enjoyment, education, and supplementing your existing habits with new traditions. 
One of the major events being featured is the Holiday Lantern Tour. The tour is designed to illustrate how the holidays were celebrated in the colonial era. Tour-Goers will be guided through historic Newport and learn the rich history of one of the most important places in Rhode Island. These run every Friday and Saturday evening starting at 4:30 pm through December 23rd and is a great way to start a festive weekend. The Newport Historical Society allows members to receive a discounted price in efforts to increase involvement within the organization. In addition to the lantern tour, NHS has other educational events this December including the “Discover Colonial Newport” and “Working Waterfront” walking tours. By learning more about Newport, the society hopes to brighten your days as you help to preserve and celebrate the history of this great city by the sea. Reservations are strongly encouraged as these events tend to book quickly. Call now or visit the website to secure your spot to enjoy a weekend in Newport and preserve our state’s history.
