'Rum and Revolution' Walking Tour is Saturday in Newport
The Newport Historical Society is hosting a walking tour, “Rum and Revolution,” with included rum tasting. It takes place Saturday, April 15, from 2 to 3 p.m.
From the thriving colonial rum trade through the temperance movement and Prohibition era smuggling, learn about the changing role of alcohol in the Newport community.
This tour lasts approximately one hour; it starts at the Museum of Newport History (127 Thames St.) and concludes at Stoneacre Brasserie, where participants can enjoy a historically inspired rum drink. Tickets cost $40 per person, $35 for NHS members; a reproduction rum ration cup is available with a combo ticket for an additional fee.
