Ocean Drive Historic District
Ocean Drive Historic District, Historic residential district along southern shore in Newport, United States.
The Ocean Drive Historic District extends over 1,509 acres, featuring Victorian and Colonial Revival residences along the winding coastal road of Rhode Island.
Originally farmland during colonial times, the area transformed when wealthy summer residents expanded beyond Bellevue Avenue, constructing houses on the rolling landscape.
The district includes notable maritime establishments like the Ida Lewis Yacht Club and New York Yacht Club, representing Newport's connection to sailing traditions.
Visitors can access multiple beaches, including public Gooseberry Beach, while Fort Adams State Park provides spaces for outdoor activities and guided tours.
Hammersmith Farm within the district served as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis childhood home and hosted President Kennedy's wedding reception in 1953.
