It looks like a lot of campgrounds, Audubon nature reserves, state parks, and the only major city is Providence which is museums and food.

    The Breakers - this is the Rockefeller’s summer home in Newport. It’s open for tours, and though I don’t recall the prices being crazy, it’s definitely been a while.

    It’s so ostentatious and over the top, but beautiful, and full of wonderfully made things.

    I think it’s interesting to consider our modern billionaire class as equivalents to Rockefeller’s gilded age.

    Oh, and while you’re in RI make sure to get a Del’s frozen lemonade.
