Don’t let their small size fool you — when it comes to history and culture, very few states offer more than Rhode Island and Connecticut. Much of their fascinating heritage is found in their iconic coastal communities: from the quirky, foodie city of Providence and beautiful, classy Newport, Rhode Island to charming Mystic, Connecticut. We will journey to these quintessential New England cities with local historians weaving the connections between the two. Savor the Italian aromas and flavors of Federal Hill in Providence, learn about the lives of the “Elite 400” while traversing the halls of a Gilded Age mansion in Newport, sample award –winning sparkling wines at New England’s largest vineyard and get an in-depth view of maritime history at the Mystic Seaport. Along the way, we will dine on the finest seafood that Southern New England has to offer.
