Newport has always been known for coastal beauty. The Cliff Walk has been around since the late 1800s and is one of Newport’s best known tourist attractions today. And we can’t forget Newport’s beaches. The beaches of Newport have always drawn crowds!

The Stone Tower in today’s Touro Park on Bellevue Avenue has been the subject of myths and legends. Who built the tower and when was it built? We won’t get into the stories of the tower, but we will share some beautiful music written with the Old Stone Mill in mind.
