In addition to its famous oceanscapes, summer “cottages,” & historic houses, Newport’s sporting traditions also influenced the way America once played – and continues to play today. Tennis, sailing, polo, & golf all became popular throughout the country in large part because they came of age in Gilded Age Newport.
