The Elms After Hours 
Treat yourself to a Gilded Age summer party. It's After Hours at The Elms, a unique opportunity to discover what it might have been like to enjoy a summer cocktail party at this elegant Gilded Age mansion.
Begin your Friday evening in Newport with a leisurely guided tour of the first floor of The Elms. Follow that with wine and canapes served on the terrace overlooking the grounds, and then take in the evening air as you and your guide stroll through the spectacular sunken garden. Offered Friday evenings only, June 27 through August 29.
See and hear how the other half lived as you tour the "back stairs" and rooftop of this Gilded Age mansion. Walk through the kitchens, coal cellar and boiler room, laundry rooms and wine cellar, then up the stairs to the third-floor staff quarters. Weather permitting, your tour will take you out onto the roof, for a spectacular view of the ten-acre estate and Newport harbor beyond.
Offered daily on the hour. Purchase tickets online.
