Must stop in Newport for any history buff. This is the oldest synagogue in the United States. An interaction here in the 1700s between the congregation and President George Washington helped establish freedom of religion in the United States.

There is a small admission fee. It gets you into the synagogue, the grounds, andva very well-done museum.

Note: there is NO on-site parking.
