Prescott Farm

It spans 40 acres (16 ha), and was in danger of demolition before Doris Duke bought it in 1973 and began restoration of the historical site.

[1] Notable features of it include an operational windmill (c. 1812),[2] British General Prescott's Guard House, a county store (c. 1715), and a University of Rhode Island Master Gardener project with the purpose of simulating a historical vegetable garden through careful research on what crops where grown during that time period.

British General Richard Prescott occupied the farm prior to the Battle of Rhode Island.

In 1973, Doris Duke's Newport Restoration Foundation purchased the land and opened it to the public.

Prescott Farm's current attractions include showcased buildings, a pond, and several walking paths.
