The Museums, Arts, and Humanities Division partners with the New England Chapter to offer SLA attendees a special trip to Newport, Rhode Island, to visit the newly remodeled International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum. Guided by an expert, attendees will have special access to the collections, exhibits, and Information Research Center which includes the library, archives, and reading room. After our tour, there will be time for lunch on your own and some exploration of historic Newport on foot. The Hall of Fame is ideally set in the heart of town within walkable distance to virtually all of the attractions, including the 3.5 mile Cliff Walk where many of the largest “cottages” can be seen. For more about Newport, visit http://www.discovernewport.org/. The bus will depart promptly to be back at the Boston Convention Center by 4:00 p.m. for anyone with flights home that evening.
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and contact Joy Banks at joymbanks@gmail.com with any questions.
