Start your holiday season with a touch of history at the Colony House on Washington Square. On Sunday, December 1, 2019 from 3pm-5pm the Newport Historical Society will host the annual Holiday Open House. Hear hymns and holiday carols, performed by costumed interpreters from the Second Massachusetts Regiment, that were once sung in colonial Newport. A handout with lyrics will be provided, audience participation is encouraged. Admission is free, donations are welcome.

Christmas in Newport’s official opening and tree lighting ceremony in Washington Square immediately follows the event.
