Got Questions About Newport RI?

If there's something you'd like to know about the "City by the Sea", feel free to ask here. I'll do my best to answer your question. If I can't, hopefully another visitor will know the answer.

Like your teachers probably told you.....There are no dumb questions, so please don't be afraid to ask. I'm sure there are many other visitors who are wondering the same thing. You'll help them as well as yourself by asking!

I've been able to help many people get the information they need, including someone from Illinois who was seeking information on a relative buried at the Fort Adams cemetery. Fortunately, we were able to track down the headstone, and we even got a photo to send him!

You never know what kind of info you can get if you just ask!
