The @newport.mansions had a landmark year, celebra The @newport.mansions had a landmark year, celebrating monumental achievements in restoration, sustainability, and programming across its iconic properties. From opening private spaces to the public for the first time to hosting innovative exhibitions and events, 2024 was a year of growth and impact. 🌱 Sustainability First:
The installation of a geothermal climate-control system at Chateau-sur-Mer was a game-changer, reducing heating fuel consumption to zero this winter while protecting the mansion’s interiors. Chateau-sur-Mer became the fourth Preservation Society property to embrace geothermal technology, part of the organization’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions. 🏛 Historic Restorations:
Meticulous work brought new life to treasured landmarks. Highlights included the conservation of The Elms’ grand ceiling mural, the $3.3 million restoration of Isaac Bell House, and the repair and repointing of The Breakers’ 13 masonry chimneys. 🎨 Exhibitions and Programs:
Rosecliff hosted groundbreaking exhibitions, including “Gilded Age Newport in Color” in partnership with the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society and “Wild Imagination: Art and Animals in the Gilded Age,” which explores the transformation of animal imagery in art. Actress Denée Benton and historian Dr. Erica Armstrong Dunbar also drew crowds for their conversation about HBO’s The Gilded Age. 🎥 Lights, Camera, Action:
The Preservation Society worked closely with HBO during the filming of The Gilded Age Season 3, showcasing The Elms, Marble House, Chateau-sur-Mer, and The Breakers as Gilded Age icons. 🎉 Community Events:
The Newport Flower Show returned to Rosecliff, the Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival welcomed celebrity chef Jacques Pépin, and Sparkling Lights at The Breakers dazzled over 30,000 visitors during the holiday season. As the Preservation Society looks ahead to its 80th anniversary in 2025, the accomplishments of 2024 highlight its ongoing dedication to preserving Newport’s rich history, promoting sustainability, and engaging the community through education and programming. #NewportMansions #HistoricPreservation #GildedAge #newportri #newportbuzz

Governor Dan McKee and state officials addressed t Governor Dan McKee and state officials addressed the public Monday regarding the devastating RI Bridges data breach, which has exposed the personal information of approximately 650,000 Rhode Islanders. The compromised system, RIBridges, supports critical programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, and HealthSource RI. McKee confirmed that cybercriminal group Brain Cipher stole sensitive data from the system, including Social Security numbers and bank account details. Now, Deloitte has reported that some of these stolen files have been leaked onto a site on the dark web, escalating fears of identity theft. “This is a scenario we have been preparing for,” state officials said, referencing a recent outreach campaign encouraging residents to protect their personal information. IT teams are now scrambling to analyze the leaked files, but details on the scope of the breach remain murky. For weeks, officials have warned the public to assume that all data within the RIBridges system has been compromised. While there’s no confirmed evidence that the stolen data has been used for identity theft yet, officials emphasize the need for immediate precautions. They recommend five critical steps for Rhode Islanders: 1. Freeze Your Credit 2. Monitor Your Credit 3. Request a Fraud Alert 4. Enable Multi-factor Authentication 5. Stay Vigilant The state has launched a dedicated website, cyberalert.ri.gov, to provide updates and resources for residents, including how to protect minors. Officials are also working with Deloitte to identify impacted individuals. Those affected will receive letters with instructions for accessing free credit monitoring services.
