This ocean front mansion located on Bellevue Avenue in historic
Newport, Rhode Island, is the former home of the Queen of American
Society, Caroline Astor, the creator of the first social register, "The 400."

Today this privately owned mansion is host to weddings and private
parties by night and home to the Beechwood Theatre Company by day.

Beechwood offers Newport's only living history tour with actors who bring to life the elegance and sophistication of the Victorian Era.
