International Tennis Hall of FameExplore its rich history in historic Newport Rhode Island
The International Tennis Hall of Fame is located on the site of the Newport Casino, the birthplace of American tournament tennis in 1881. This is a cool place to visit, even if you're not very interested in tennis (like me).
