Rough Point Museum was the Newport home of heiress, collector, and philanthropist Doris Duke (1912-1993). Very impressive rooms and collection of art. Nice to walk around gardens. Beginning April 5: Tuesday-Friday: 10:00am-4:00pm Saturday-Sunday: 10:00am-5:00pm www.newportrestoration.org/roughpoint/

It is my opinion that Doris Duke's Rough Point is one of the most stunning properties in Newport. Billionaire Tobacco heiress Doris Duke founded the Newport Restoration Foundation and continues to keep so many historic houses in our city in good repair. The grounds of Rough Point feel otherworldly, I don't know how to explain it. Stop by & say hi to the two topiary camels, Baby & Princess who were at one point ACTUAL CAMELS. I'm not kidding. Take the tour, it's so worth it.
