Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum

Mansion and grounds closed till April. See you in the spring! Check out our winter lectures and workshops from our website. Beginning January 20, 2022 our administrative office will be limiting the number of staff members in the office. Please expect telephone coverage to be lighter than usual. At this time email may be the best way to reach us. Thank you for your patience. Blithewold, a 33-acre summer estate with grand views of Narragansett Bay, is nationally significant in American history as one of the most fully developed and authentic examples of the Country Place era. The property features a 45-room mansion filled with family heirlooms framed by a series of lovely gardens that range in character from mysterious to exotic and from poetic to practical.
