Wednesday Walk-arounds and Saturday Strolls: guided tours of Blithewold

Posted

Docents tell the story of the Van Wickle/McKee family, the original owners of this beautiful seaside garden estate. Visitors experience breathtaking views of Narragansett Bay and see the Mansion decorated with original furnishings, just as it was when the family lived here. The guided tour continues through the grounds, where magnificent trees and a variety of colorful gardens demonstrate Blithewold's prominence in horticulture.

This tour concludes with a Q & A, complete with iced tea served on Blithewold's North West Porch. Please register at Blithewold.org.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
