Herreshoff Marine Museum

Rhode Island is one of the sailing capitals of the world. The Herreshoff Marine Museum celebrates this by showcasing various sailing vessels used. In addition, the America's Cup Hall of Fame is located here.

You'll probably spend about an hour here. You can stroll the the museum at your own leisure or ask for a free guided tour. We opted to do this on our own. If you're a true aficionado of sailing, you'll probably want to take the guided tour and plan to spend extra time here.

The location is easy to get to for people staying in both Providence and Newport.
