============================================== The Newport Historical Society Presents HISTORY, RESTORATION, & MEANING: THE WANTON-LYMAN-HAZARD HOUSE FORUM 9:00AM - 4:15PM, Friday, June 14, 2002 & 9:00AM - 5:00PM, Saturday, June 15, 2002 Hotel Viking, One Bellevue Avenue, Newport, RI ============================================== Join historians, curators, archaeologists, and historic preservationists to explore the diverse and dynamic history of the Newport Historical Society's Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House, one of the earliest and most important buildings in Newport. Built around 1675, the Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House has witnessed over three centuries of change in the surrounding landscape and community. Before being restored and opened to the public in 1927, it was the home of families large and small, a colonial governor, enslaved people, a notorious Tory sympathizer, merchants, craftsmen, and a pair of spinster sisters. Learn how preservation experts recently conducted a second restoration of the house, and about the Newport Garden Club's plans to restore its colonial garden. Get the latest information about the 1765 Newport Stamp Act Riot, which included an attack upon the house, and hear about exciting discoveries from recent archaeological excavations at the house lot. ============================================== Admission free; space is limited.
