Owen OConnor Tours Rhode Island’s Mansions

RI – It’s no secret to Owen OConnor that RI has some of the most amazing mansions in the country.  Especially in the early 1800’s, many extremely wealthy families had mansions in Newport, RI.  They would usually only stay in their incredible homes for about 1-3 weeks per year, leaving the extensive staff to maintain the homes and facilities for the rest of the year.  One of the best times to tour the mansions in Newport is during the Christmas holidays.  The mansions display how things might have looked several hundred years ago when the owners of the grand palaces came into town for the holidays – hundreds of Christmas trees and thousands of dollars worth of decorations.  Newport Mansions website should you decide to take a tour of the RI Mansions yourself – http://www.newportmansions.org
